Despite being calm and composed while solving other's issues or helping them, it was always Aria's weakness that she can't tolerate when somebody brings up Alan and talks by keeping them away from each other.
She doesn't know what's there in the future, but presently, where there is Aria, there will be Alan and conversely. It's just irrevocable for her.
"I am sorry, Aunt Melissa but you aren't me and you never had a person like Alan in your life. And it's really ludicrous for you to compare yourself with us."
Melissa realized she pressed the wrong nerve hearing Aria's suppressed irritation. She never had somebody to love her unconditionally as Aria had. Her late husband married her for the convenience of their family, they never had love between them but a responsibility.
She regretted putting Aria in her situation making it seem like they were the same. "I..." She wanted to apologize but Aria continued.
