When Priss doesn't get a single call from John about the engagement, she calls him. He says that she's too naive for him and that it was only desire and not love. He says that he's with another woman and Priss hangs up on him.
Years later, Priss comes back a sophisticated graduate. She sees John, but he looks worn out. She finds out from his brother that the ranch had gone bankrupt the same time John had ended the engagement. Shocked, she runs to John and says that she would've stuck with him even if it would've been hardwork. He mistakes it for pity and gets mad at her. Fed up with being hurt by him a lot, Priss gives up loving him. John feels the impact of that and tries to win her back.
