Julian burst into the hospital room, responding to Mattie's urgent calls.
"What's wrong? Why..." he trailed off, taken aback by Mattie's distraught expression.
"Julian..." Mattie's voice trembled as she stretched out her arms, tears streaming down her face.
Julian's eyes widened in surprise; he hadn't expected such an emotional reception.
As Mattie grasped his hands, Julian attempted to gently pry her fingers loose.
Tonia and Zach stood there frustrated at the whole scene.
"Mattie, what's going on? Why the sudden call? We have already broken up," he declared, trying to sound calm despite his growing unease.
Mattie's tears abruptly ceased, replaced by confusion. "Break up?" she repeated, her voice laced with disbelief.
"But we... We were planning our wedding. How can we break up?" Julian recoiled, startled by her reaction.
