[ SNEAK PEAK ]
⚠️ UNKNOWNS POV ⚠️
I stare at the crying, grieving family leaving flowers...
Raven and Aurora both enter the familiar boutique.
"How can I help you two laddies today?" Margaret asks, smiling at the mother-and-daughter duo.
"We need dresses for a wedding; do you have any of those custom ones you make?" Raven tells her, getting closer and holding Margaret's hand.
She pats Raven's hand. "Of course I do; I actually have two that are made just for you," she says, pointing at both the girls.
"great!" Aurora smiles and says, "Go on, sit while I bring them out." She ushers them to the white couches.
Raven sits on her side, turning to her daughter, who also gets comfortable.
"Tell me," Raven pokes the aurora. She laughs. "Momma, he asked me to be his girlfriend," Aurora gushes.
Raven claps her hands and hugs her daughter. "That's amazing, honey, so tell me, how'd he ask?" Raven asks, and Aurora smiles at the memory.
"Me trajo serenata, y rosas, y me dijo que me ama," she says. "Aww, que lindo gesto, hija, y tu que le dijiste cuando se te declaro?" Raven asks, enjoying her daughter's happiness.
[He brought me a serenade and roses and told me that he loved me.]
[Aww, what a nice gesture, daughter, and what did you say to him when he declared himself to you?]
"Le dije que también lo amo, y que es perfecto." Aurora can't stop smiling; she's so happy.
[I told him that I love him too and that he is perfect.]
"Hija, I'm so happy for you!" Raven pulls her daughter in for another hug. "Thanks, Mama," Aurora says, holding her mom's hand.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have really met Dario; I mean, really get to know him," she smiles. Raven looks behind Aurora and sees Jackson.
"Here are the dresses," Margaret says. Raven quickly gets up and grabs the dress Margaret hands her.
"thank you! I'm going to go try it on. Ok, bye, be back." Raven rushes to the dressing room before Jackson looks into the boutique.
Jackson is with Alexei and Niki for tux shopping; unfortunately, it's in the same boutique the girls are in.
"Rora, what are you doing here?" Jackson asks, and Aurora turns around and sees them.
Aurora smiles, not at her father or uncles but at the thought of her mom coming out in a beautiful dress, and her father has to see what he is missing out on.
"Papa!" she hugs her dad. "I'm shopping for a dress; for the wedding," she says. Jackson nods.
"What about you?" she asks. Her uncles hug her before they walk over to the tailor section. "Tux shopping," he says a bit sourly.
"Rora, do you like⏤" Raven stops talking and moving as soon as she sees Jackson.
She didn't think he would come in.
"Woah, you look beautiful, Raven!" Alexei gushes as he nears her and admires the dress. "Doesn't she look beautiful, Jackson?" Alexei asks, turning to Jackson.
He clears his throat and stares at Raven for a moment before replying.
"Yes, you look beautiful," he stutters a bit. She smiles.
"Thank you; I'm going to go change," she says before she leaves, though Aurora speaks.
"Mama, you should take a picture and ask Giovanni if he likes it." Jackson snaps his head in the aurora direction so hard, it's a miracle he didn't snap it.
"I've got to go." He says he walks out of the store, leaving his brothers behind. "It's working; you see, I'm sure he's going to call it off," Niki says, following after Jackson.
"Yes, I've got to go and make sure he doesn't kill someone, byeee" he says, running after his brothers.
Aurora laughs. "Aurora, what you did is not okay," Raven says, and Aurora shakes her head.
She nods her head and says, "Your right, mama, so wrong." She tries to cover her laugh.
Raven turns around and smiles. It was surely funny, but cruel.
They spend the rest of the day shopping and pampering each other.
