Ken flew to Houston to be with Lilah.

Lilah looks at Ken.

Ken: How are you?

Lilah: Nervous. I feel like.....

Ken: Hey, I'm here with you. I will always be here with you.

Lilah: I'm so scared, Kenneth. I don't want to die young.

Ken: Don't lose hope. Be positive. You can fight this thing. You can win this battle, Lilah.

Lilah: I appreciate that you're here.

Ken: Of course.

Lilah: But once I started chemo, please don't see me. Promise me that you will never visit me here. I don't want you to see me so weak.

Ken hugs Lilah.

Lilah: Promise me, Kenneth, please?

Ken: I promise.

Lilah: With this illness I have right now, I hope nothing changes especially the decision you made a month ago.

Ken: What makes you so certain about it?

Lilah: Because it will be out of pity. You will be doing it because of the situation I am in right now.

Ken holds Lilah's hand.

Lilah: I know how you truly feel towards me and you don't have to change your mind for I know my place in your life, Kenneth.

Ken: We can start all over again, Lilah.

Lilah didn't respond.

Ken: Let me make it up to you.

Lilah: Don't do this, Kenneth. Don't.

Ken: Lilah.

Lilah: Please, what's done is done. You already said it, you can no longer take it back.

Ken: I....

Lilah: Aren't you seeing Aiya?

Ken: I am.

Lilah: Aiya is a nice girl.

Ken: How about we'll start all over again?

Lilah: I don't want to. I want to take rest now.

Ken kisses Lilah's forehead and leaves.

CJ puts down her fork.

Marco: Are you okay?

CJ: I don't know. I feel so confused. Just days ago, Ken came over to my place and told me that Lilah has cancer.

Marco: For real? Oh my gosh! Stage what?

CJ: If I'm not mistaken, I think it's stage three.

Marco: Really? I feel bad for Lilah.

CJ: Marco umm

Marco: What is it?

CJ: Should I....just forget it.

Marco: What is it, CJ?

CJ: It's nothing.

Marco: Is it about Brad, is it about Ken?

CJ: Ummm...no.
