[ Despite her desire not to cause him any worry, she didn't quite anticipate further questions because of it. That's rather counterproductive for her hopes of avoiding the subject, and faltering, she gets through part of the letter 'I' before stopping, then continuing a beat later. ]
I can come over whenever you like.
[ That'd be a nice thought were she not so preoccupied; after so long, they've finally got the opportunity to meet and talk so easily. At the moment, though, she's busy preemptively imagining how to describe the past. ]

come over soon, okay? i'll catch up with you soon.
