Abby torn appart from Stella?

[Big Ears]

Two nights ago, the girls were running around the house, and Stella, since she is partly blind, was running very fast and hit Abby. Abby got really scared of Stella, not knowing it was an accident. Ever since, Abby has been avoiding Stella. Whenever Stella tries to show affection to Abby, she runs to the other side of the cage and arches her back. I hope their love doesn't break apart, or they won't attack eachother. I tried re-introducing them in the bathtub, but it didn't work. What should I do to keep their bond from breaking?

Let them work it out. They'll be fine.

Ditto what Lilspaz said they will be fine.

Are they in the same cage? If they've lived in the same cage before, don't separate them just because there's a bit of discord.

Yes, they have both lived in the same cage before. I adopted Abby only a few weeks ago, but they got used to eachother instantly, and treated eachother like sisters. Now they are acting like two complete strangers who are scared of being attacked be the other. Whenever Stella comes near, Abby squeaks and Stella doesn't even show any sign of wanting to harm 4-week-old Abby. It's been almost a week, and Abby hasn't got over her fear of Stella. Stella has become really lonely that Abby doesn't want to play, even though they are in the same big cage.
