[ Allison's friends with Jackson Whittemore; she's good at reading between the lines and figuring out what people mean when they say certain things. But just the fact that Isaac's admitting to it and apologizing as well... It means more than Allison could probably say. Especially since she still feels the weight of guilt on her shoulders, despite Isaac's acceptance of her own apology.
She definitely agrees with that second part, too, but the third is more important to address. ]
I'd really like to try, but... Things are different now. I'M different now. So I don't know if we even can go back to the way it was.
[ After she sends that, Allison quickly follows it up with another text: ]
I still consider you my friend, I just don't want to make promises I can't keep. With everything that happened back home and with everything that's going to happen here, it's not going to be the same as it was. Do you get what I mean?
[ She doesn't want him to just expect things to be absolutely 100% exactly how they were; their friendship will likely end up changing slightly, at least on her end, because Allison has changed. But that doesn't change the fact that she trusts him, that she cares about him, that she wants to continue having him in her life to see where it leads. ]
