They walk for a few minutes and they end up at the park.

"Ruel, I have something to tell you," she sits down at the bench.

"What is it?" he sits next to her.

"I-I have to marry someone. He's nice, but I'm not ready to get married yet. I still want to travel the world. I'm not ready to have kids."

"I know this must be confusing and frustrating for you. I'm not sure if there's anything I can do, but if I come up with something I will tell you."

"Okay, thank you," she smiles.

They hear loud yelling and stand up.

"Alexandra?" a faint voice yells out.

"Come on. Let's hide," Ruel grabs her hand.

They end up at a house. It looks old. She sees a woman standing in front of her.

"Ruel, who is that?" she seems annoyed.

"Alexandra meet Coco. Coco meet Alexandra," he smiles.

Alexandra can tell Coco is observing her.

"Hi, nice to meet you," Alexandra holds out her hand.

Coco hesitates, but shakes her too.

"Is this your girlfriend?" Coco smiles.

"No, go inside or something," Ruel laughs and blushes.

Coco laughs too and goes back inside the house.

"I'm kind of nervous... my parents act really weird whenever I bring a friend that's a girl," he admits.

"Ruel... it's okay. We can just clarify that we're friends."

He just smiles and they walk inside.

"Hey, Ruel. I was just making-" a lady turns around and accidentally drops her spoon.

"Mom, are you okay?" he picks up the spoon.

"Are you princess Alexandra? Oh wow, I never thought I would see you this close. Why are you here?" she asks.

"Yes. I just needed a break from my home," she sighs.

"Well, you can come here any time," his mom smiles.
