"What did he do to you?"
Poor Axel. He was unknowingly being judged by Dalia.
But the sudden change in Larissa was not actually because of Axel. It is because of Jerrod.
She thought she no longer needed to act angsty and depressed about her breakup with Jerrod.
She thought if Jerrod could move on; she had to move on too!
It's easier said than done, but she still feels upset and regretful about their ending. She could not even promise to welcome new people into her heart again, but one thing changed for her is that the wait of hoping and waiting lessened the burden she was feeling.
Now that she knows that she really actually didn't have a chance to Jerrod anymore, she reasoned she needed to live for a better life and stop worrying the people who cared about her.
"You don't have to know him. I bet we will not be dating once you return."
"What? He's already playing with you?"
"It's not him. It's me."
"What?"
