"No!" Luke gazes at Anne. "Look, you told me that he's a heavy smoker and you know I don't like it, don't you?" he says.
"I can't afford to lose you, Anne. It's like you're killing yourself." Luke stops.
Natalie looks at her husband. "Luke, they're both grown up. They know what to do. Plus, they're already engaged," she stops. "Do you want them to break off?"
"Nate, stay away from this. I'm his brother. I'm the one who will take her hand down the aisle."
"Are you kidding me, Luke?" Nate says.
"With Ashton?" "I don't think so, Nate." He says.
Anne doesn't say a word. She's trying to keep her head down. Luke feels bad as Natalie stares hard at him.
Luke says, "Bring him home. I want to know him better," Natalie smiles. She turns her head to face Anne.
"When did he propose?" Natalie asks Anne cheerfully.
"He did not," Anne answers Natalie. "I proposed him."
"What???!!!" Are you kidding me Anne?" Luke disbelief.
"Luke, I'm in love with him. I just can't help it." Anne speaks. "Can you just this once, have some faith in it? I never asked anything before. Just this Luke, I need you to be with me." Anne walks off and enters her room.
Natalie looks at him. "Honey, she deserves to be happy,"
"Do you remember what she had done to you? She had sacrificed her dream. Being a doctor is not her passion, but she done it for you."
Luke sighs and enters Anne's room.
"When is your wedding?" Anne gets up from her bed and hugs him.
"Promise me you would be happy," Luke says. She nods.
