They asked Mary not to sleep with Brandan right away, and to make sure Brandan asked for their permission before he hugged and kissed her. Mary promised her elderly grandparents, but she went right ahead and kissed Brandan repeatedly as soon as she saw him. All the while, her brother kept watching the two.

Mary didn’t know how Brandan would react to these rules, since they wouldn't be allowed to be intimate in any way until they got her grandparents’ approval. So, she decided not to tell Brandan about the rules. Mary claimed she was overwhelmed with emotions after seeing Brandan, and it was also her very first kiss, which he wanted to be from him. When Mary’s brother finally told Brandan that kissing wasn’t okay in the Philippines, the American man thought the rule was absurd.
