Shawn looked at his mother who went to exit the play and looked at Hannah smiling sheepishly. She shook her head disapprovingly and he wondered why.
“ You shouldn't have talked to her in that manner”
“ And she should not have talked to her in that manner? I did for you, for us”
“ I am the one who said I am in love with you. She has every right to speak to you in whatever manner that she wants”
“But you should not have said all those things to her, she must be feeling bad now”
“Listen, I want the both of you to get close as well, but then she makes it impossible for the both of you to be close. if only she would accept you then my father would not have a problem at all, but you don't know him, he's always dancing to her tune and will do whatever she's asking to do, I did all those things looking out for you”
“ That does not look as though you are looking up for me, but though, your mother is going to be more mad at me and even hurt me more than she has already done. she will think that I took her son away, and now I am taking his heart as well, your heart has always belonged to her, but now someone else was creeping inside, this was someone that she should did not have approved of”
“ And so?”
“ What do you mean? I want to get on your mother's good side as well, and all along I have been trying to wrap my head around. how I can get through to her? I know a conversation is not going to just cut out, in the end, she might think that I'm desperate and only want money, she might even offer me some money for me to leave you, and I don't want all that because I have my dignity and your money is not a problem at all. it might be able to cure my mother but I have never wanted your money, I have always provided for my mother I never even knew that you are rich until the other day when you told me your secret”
“ And I'm not blaming you for anything so don't beat yourself up”
“Is that what you think?”
“ I don't need to think, I just need to know”
“ I'm sorry I was being too hard on her but then my mother pisses me off when she refused to approve of you, and I hate that. I love you and want you to be my Luna, you are my mate so which other Luna will I choose other than you, I don’t want you to think that I was mean towards her because i was not”
“I don't think that you were mean to her because you wanted to but because of what she wanted to say, nevertheless, I still want you to give me a chance for me to try and make it up with your mother because at the end of the day, she is your mother and I will not want the both of you to have altercations because of an illegitimate child like me”
“ Don't you say that again! I already told you that your illegitimacy has nothing to do with anything between us, I love you and the fact that you are my mate is something that I have always wanted, right from the first day that I set eyes on you, I fell for you”
