He offers her housing until she can pay her own rent, but in the meantime they fall in love and Bobby asks to marry her. She willingly accepts, but his parents are categorically against it due to the girl's scandalous past. Bobby's mother goes to Helen's house personally, to ask her not to meet him again.
