"So you think that because you're filling my daughter's head with wild fantasies and ideas you can take her from her home and make her into something she's not?" Caterina interjected, reaching for Aria who pulled away from her mother and held onto Ben,
"Mama, Papa you both know I'm not like the other girls here. I want to go with Ben..." 
"Aria, you are a woman in the eyes our culture and in the law," Her father said gently, reaching his hand out to her. Aria let go of Ben to go to her father who pulled her into a tight hug,
"Whatever the two of you do, be careful." He whispered in her ear, and Aria nodded as he let her go, tears in his own eyes.
"Go enjoy the festival you two. Your Mama and I will be at home by the time you get home." Aria beamed a bright smile at her father before stepping back to Ben.
