Okay, I am not jealous and resentful. That is nonsense.
Yet you recall my exact words. There's no shame in it. I feel that way too sometimes. Why does everyone else get to have a normal life?
My life is fine.
Normally you rise above such craven emotions but in this case your hands were tied. It's the rules. You're forced to do what your worst self is telling you to do anyway. Hence your tension headache.
I don't... (Jane gives her a look) All right. I do have a headache, but it's a coincidence.
Nah.
Either I obey the rules or I risk taking big heat for ignoring them. This is on Van Pelt and Rigsby, not me.
Whatever you say.
