I may be the youngest Marcello, but I'm the most stubborn.

It was a slow day at the shop, very few customers had came in and had Aria quite bored. But she was pretty grateful that it was a slow day, for she was lost in thought as she ate some strawberries. She was thinking about her recent run in with John. He had laid his hands on her again and this time had left claw marks up high on her inner thigh. Other than that she didn't have any visible marks, even when how heavy he hurt her. Which made her realize how smart he was. He hurt her, but made sure he would hit her just enough to cause pain without bruising her. But what was bugging her even more was that it appeared her father wanted her to marry that man. She hadn't confirmed it with her Dad yet, but the way John looked and how he didn't show one sign of lying, told her everything.
Aria finished eating her strawberries and threw away the stems. She went to the private bathroom in the backroom. She did her business, washed her hands and then exited the backroom. She went back to her desk and skimmed the list of things she needed to do. Aria decided to to one of the easiest tasks as she really didn't feel like working hard again.
She moved away from the desk and got pink, red, and blue ribbon before she moved to the flowers she was going to tie the ribbons to. She got on her knees and started to do the task. Getting lost in thought once more as flashes of what John did to her went through her mind. She was starting to realize that she shouldn't fight back anymore. Every time she fought back, it got worse.. And she couldn't handle it if she got really hurt from that man.
As she was lost in thought, she didn't hear the bells chime as someone walked into the store.

I might be young, but that doesn't make me less qualified.

Dante stepped into the flower shop expecting to see Aria with a client, but discovered that it looked like no one was there. He stepped back out to double check the sign. The sign was flipped to open but Aria didn't seem around.
Stepping further into the shop he looked around before spotting Aria on the floor, tying ribbons around some flowers. A smile lit his face as he walked over to her. "Uh, knock knock?" he said as he stepped up behind her.
Aria jumped up letting out a little shriek before turning around. Her hand was over her heart as she looked up at Dante, who was laughing a little. He looked at her and saw her glare, but it only made him laugh more.
"Sorry, Bambi, couldn't help it," he said as he grinned at her. "I see that you're swamped though," he said sarcastically as he gestured to the empty shop. "Should I come back later when things have died down a little?" he joked as he moved to step back away from her.

"Uh, knock knock?"
Aria shrieked and jumped to her feet when she heard Dante right behind her. She backed up and placed her hand over her heart as she now stared at him in shock. She listened to his laughter which made her glare at him. Her hands going straight on her hip as her nose were turned up a little to him. Of course it was playful glare, so it wasn't that bad. But when he started to joke about how dead the place was, she laughed. "You know, I really do need to take care of my customers," Aria joked back as she placed her ribbons on a little table next to her.
After that she looked at the flowers she had already done. They were looking good. Better than the previous idea she had of putting glitter on them. But she bit the top of her thumb as something was still missing. "Something is missing.. They look beautiful, but I am not completely feeling it," She said before she noticed some dirt on her dress. She quickly brushed it off before looking back to Dante.
"Anyway, it is about time you're free," Aria said as she was now giving him a little pouty face. Showing that she had been missing him. She honestly wanted to kiss him right now, but she was afraid to make the first move. She didn't want to look desperate or clingy. Though suddenly her pouty face went into one of a snobby pout. "Wait I shouldn't be talking to you, I'm mad at you." Aria said with a little smirk before turning away and walking off to her desk.
