Brandon Piers and Abigail Green had previously been engaged. Although the entertainment magazines embellished their story to make it seem touching, the public was not buying it.
Even the speech Brandon gave defending Abigail at their engagement party was seen as an act.

Yet, as Lincoln Green collected the woman's body, this sentiment gradually faded from public view.
