Part 6/8:
Following the confrontation and a few days of reflection, Alex comes to the realization that Lily's request signals deeper issues within their relationship. He confronts her with his hesitations, ultimately deciding to end the engagement. While he acknowledges the difficulty of this decision, he celebrates the liberation he feels from choosing to walk away.
