"We're engaged," Ariana let out as a matter of fact.
"And that is the only reason?" Mrs Lowell raised a dark eyebrow.
"Uh..." Ariana trailed off, wanting to get out of this awkward situation as soon as possible.

"And are you the one to interpret her words now, Derek?" Mrs Lowell turned to her son.
