Abigail, however, remained unconvinced and fiercely protective of Jasper's happiness and desires. She countered her father's arguments, "But what about Jasper's feelings? Doesn't he deserve to be loved and respected in return? Do you think he will be happy with Britney? Even though he will take care of her, he will never love her. You're forcing him into a lifelong commitment without considering his desires. That's cruel."
Abigail's emotions ran high—a potent mix of anger, frustration, and a sense of injustice. She was willing to challenge her father for the sake of her friend Jasper, whom she felt was being drawn into a situation that might not bring him any joy.
