Their next door neighbor (that they’ve been friends with for years), their daughter is also a senior with no one to go with to the prom. Mom would like to encourage her son to take the neighbor, even as friends, so that they can both go. Axel says she needs to mind her own business, he already said that he didn’t like her “like that” and wasn’t keen to the idea. She wants to push it and doesn’t see why he wouldn’t. Should she continue to push it?
