The next morning, Ariana got up early and waited until Samuel was dressed for work and had left the room before she let out a sigh of relief. She had been dreading facing him after their fight the night before, and she wasn't sure how to act around him.
She quickly got up from Amanda’s bed, made her way to their bedroom, and walked to the bathroom immediately, closing the door behind her. As she began to run the water for her bath, Ariana couldn't help but think about what happened between her and Samuel last night. She felt hurt and angry, and she didn't know how to process her emotions.
After her bath, Ariana changed into a fresh set of clothes and made her way to the dining room. As she entered the room, she was greeted by the rest of the family, who were all seated around the table.
