Lila's gaze remained calm as she silently considered Xyla's words.
She didn't respond right away, so Xyla continued, "You seem close to Ms. Joyce. I was wondering if I could ask-why didn't the arranged marriage between their families go through? Would you mind sitting down for a bit at that cafe over there?"
Lila met Xyla's eyes. Aside from curiosity, there wasn't much emotion in them.
But she didn't nod.
Instead, she simply said, "I don't know much about it, so don't overthink things, Ms. Zimmerman. The two of them probably didn't move forward with it because their personalities and values were not aligning."
Xyla frowned slightly. "Personalities and values?"

But to Xyla, it all felt a little too surface-level. Was it that simple?
Still, Lila had made her stance clear.
After a brief pause, Xyla asked, "So, it was Ms. Joyce who didn't want the engagement?"
