I don't even think that's really reasonable, but the detachment and referential nature of the meta-world means it could have metaphorically happened that Ange turned over her thoughts and life in an instant eternity, and made a decision in a split-second not to jump.
Of course, a realist will say that she didn't actually do anything of the sort, and that she merely subconsciously decided against jumping at the last second, perhaps due to an unresolved desire or a sudden insight.
But ultimately it's the same thing in result, so...
