Mrs. Brook strongly opposes Marcellus and Katrina's relationship.
Given a choice, Marcellus chooses to stick to his true love. He can't give up his mother, but he won't give up the woman he loves either.
But between familial and romantic affection, he needs to think about it.
Knowing his mother doesn't approve of Katrina, he will try to keep them from meeting each other, so his mother won't say anything unkind to Katrina and upset her. He wants to do his best to protect the woman he likes. He will use this time to prove to his mother that Katrina is the best girl in the world.
The next time Katrina goes on a date with Marcellus, and she feels that something is bothering him. He keeps staring at her in a daze, only coming back to reality when she calls his name. He smiles as gently as usual, and everything seems back to normal.
Marcellus is acting a little strange tonight. It seems like he is hiding something, but she can't tell what it is.
