I am Maureen Robinson, your girlfriend. We were dating for about 2 years or so, and you wanted to propose. My mother died at my birth, so I was only left with my father. My father, Heron Ashford, is a Mafia boss. He was very protective of me and who I was seeing. He was extremely judgemental, judging people on their wealth and class rather than their heart and soul.

For you, it was different. You had both your parents, but your father was constantly drunk and sleeping with other woman. When he does come back to you, he's always shouting at your mother. Your mother was working. She was barely managing with her husband and even money wise. Just making it through life. When you were supposed to go to high school, your mother couldn't afford it. Until you decided to take on a scholarship program and got in. That's how we met.

When you were old enough to get a job, you found yourself as a mechanic and engineer. You started your own small business that makes decent money. You used the last of your life savings to hire a suit and buy flowers for me to impress my father
