Robert's words made Lisa even more annoyed with what she had said. She felt that Robert did not understand her desire to build a more serious and deeper relationship. Lisa feels that their relationship should go through the getting to know the family stage, because that is an important part of the commitment and trust they build with each other.
Lisa didn't answer. She was just silent, unable to look at Robert. Her eyes shifted to the shopping bags that Robert had given her. Suddenly, her heart no longer felt sad. Lisa tried to understand, tried to understand Robert's point of view. Even though her heart was a little hurt, she realized that in relationships, sometimes there must be sacrifices and compromises.
