As both of them seem to be hurting in their own ways, they do not seem to be able to find a common ground on which they can get their things sorted. With the days passing by, this struggle continues to grow, which makes Zanny Campbell feel that she does not have the ability to fight anymore. She appears to be adamant on her stand that unless John comes to her with full honesty and tell her what he has been hiding till now, she is not going to move forward with their relationship.
