That was never part of the plan from the beginning. She only planned to warn Blaze about Andrew because of some sentimental reason. Besides, warning him won't take anything from her, instead, Blaze will owe her a favor.

The fact that Blaze had managed to impress her piqued Aria's curiosity, as she rarely saw Isabella involve herself in such matters.
