Xander arrives at Oliver's house, he sees Izzy waiting for him

hi bro. said Izzy

hi. said Xander as he hugs his sister

I heard you proposed, ready to settle down? asked Izzy with a smile

maybe. said Xander with a sigh

having second thoughts? asked Izzy

not really. said Xander trying to sort out his emotions

where is she? asked Xander

upstairs. I think mom spoke to her. said Izzy

I guess I have to fix this. said Xander as he walks upstairs

you can do this. said Izzy encouraging him.

thanks. smiled Xander

Xander walks into Mel's room, she looks at him and said nothing

hey baby. said Xander as he sits on the side of the bed

what happened? asked Xander looking at her

nothing. she said looking at her fingers

Mel, lets talk, please. said Xander gently

Mel keeps on looking at her fingers without replying

my mom spoke with you, what did she say? asked Xander

it's not about your mom Xi, it's just that I can't be a good wife to you. said Mel sadly
