They both walk in silence towards Dante office. Ariel raise her brows. Leen never comes to Dante's office even tough she is his mother. He had nothing but hatred for her in his heart all because she neglected him when he was little for work purposes. And then it clicks in her head. It's the new month and he wants to fifill his dare.
Leen opens the door without knocking also bringing Ariel in with him. Dante looks up from the documents on her desk obviously shocked to see her son standing before her. He had never come to her office for one day, not even when he newly got admitted into the school. He had people do it for him.
Without any word he releases Ariel hand, opening his bag to bring out a wrapped present placing it on her desk. "Happy New month" he says turn ing to leave when Ariel nudges his arm with a frown on her face.
Leen sighs not knowing what else to say.
"Don't think I'm doing this because Ihave forgiven you. I haven't...." Leen wince when Ariel stomps on his foot.
"Happy New month Mom" he hurriedly says in pain making a tear roll down Dante cheeks. It's been ten long years since she heard the word call her mom. He never even referred to her as his mom. He always called her by her personal name even saying how she creeps him out, or says she is creepy.
Leen pales seeing the tears on Dante face. No matter how much he hates his mother, he hates to see her cry the most.
Dante wipes her tears turning to Ariel with a smile on her face. The latter returns the smile leaving the office to give the mother and son pair privacy.
Ariel didn't know how long she waited when Leen came out with red rimmed eyes. He sees her rubbing her shoulder and approaches her.
"I'm sorry, i forgot to inquire about your shoulder" Leen says.
"Domy worry I'm fine" she says with a smile on her face. "How do you feel?". She asks inquiring about his talk with Dante.
Leen smiles "much better. I feel great calling her mother again". At this Ariel smiles widely.
"Thank you" he whispers closing the gap between their lips in a kiss.
At the cafeteria, Piper and Theressa walks in and orders a meal. They sat down in the middle of the cafeteria observing everyone to check out for models when three girls comes to sit with them.
"Hey. I'm Sophie and this is Stella and Molly" she says pointing to the girls beside her.
"Ella paid off everyone in the art department to decline your proposal to model for you but we would love to" Sophie says handing out a card to Theressa.
Theressa nods her head collecting the contact card from Sophie.
"So you three are still going to model for me despite getting paid off not to do so?"
Theressa ask.
Sophie shrugs "Well it's a plus" She says. "We gotta run". And just like that the three leaves. Piper and Theressa stares at the place where the three lady with shock written all over their face
