The following morning, Ezra's lying in bed with Aria. They wake up with Aria's head on Ezra's chest which makes them feel comfortable. They keep thinking how last night could've gone worse. Liam was so angry at Aria that he flipped a table that had the buffet laid out on it. The floor was covered in food.

They wake up with a smile as to say we're finally free. They feel relieved knowing that they can finally be together after all this time and they don't need to hide it. Byron wasn't as angry as he used to be. He was more convinced that it would work out between the two this time and thanks to Ella he was happy for them.

Whilst Ezra goes to work downstairs in the brew, Aria stays upstairs dressed in one of Ezra's shirts. She hears a knock at the door and was surprised as she nor Ezra was expecting anyone. It was Ezra's mum, or as Aria calls her, Mrs Fitzscary. Aria then feels a bit embarrassed as she's wearing one of Ezra's shirts. Mrs Fitzgerald let's herself in without asking permission from Aria.

"Let's make it fifty thousand" says Mrs Fitzgerald.
" What??What is this?" Says Aria as she is confused.
" Break up with Ezra and I'll give you 50K!" She is definitely one scary lady.

" Looks Mrs F. I love Ezra from the bottom of my heart. Anything you say won't make any difference to how much I care about him. And we're not going down that path again where you pay off your problems. I mean what if I married him? That shows that I'm fully committed. Why would anyone woman not want his son or daughter to be happy? That's just sick."

Mrs Fitzgerald gives Aria a grim look and marches out of the room angrily and slams the door. This made Aria feel proud of herself. The fact that she stuck up for herself in front of that woman made her feel better her but she had a bit of guilt in her knowing that she has to tell Ezra.

At 11:30, Ezra gets off on his lunch break. He runs upstairs to Aria to get some things then takes her out with him. Whilst out on their lunch at a fancy diner, Aria knows that she now has the chance to tell Ezra about his awful mother.

Meanwhile, Ezra is ordering lunch for them both whilst she comes up with a way to tell him.
"Hey Aria, have you ever tried their tacos? They're so good. Maybe we..." Says Ezra but then gets interrupted when Aria blurts out her confession.

"Ezra, I need to tell you something. Now I know you're not gonna like it but I have to get it off my chest..." Aria feels so bad but she comes out with it. Ezra gives her the confused look and wants to know exactly what she's hiding.

"You're mom came round this morning and I knew that she was angry, I just knew it. She offered me money. To break off our relationship. And... And the best thing out that is that I stood up to her" confesses Aria.
" She offered you money? How could she? What did you say?" Asks Ezra.

" I said that however much I love you, I will never take money for our relationship. I told her that I love you too much to do that and that we're not going down that path again. I told her straight up that I've had enough of her trying to pay off her problems. You believe me right?" Aria feels relieved to get that off her chest.

" Yes, yes I believe you. Oh,Aria. I am so sorry about my mother. I love you so much and I don't want her, your dad, or anything to get in the way of that." Ezra looks happy knowing that Aria stuck up to Mrs Fitzscary and that she said she loved him.

Ezra and Aria arrive back at the brew to find themselves stuck between family and friends wanting answers. But they don't talk....they walk. They walk upstairs in Ezra's apartment and get comfortable on the sofa.

Aria receives a text...
