It was New year's Eve and Ares wanted to go watch the countdown. So he forcefully dragged Reina and I along. We were already back in New Jersey, nothing had really changed in the mansion. Dean would be joining us the next day after he insisted on helping Jasmine launch the salon. She would also be moving with him back to New Jersey, in his apartment downtown before she could get hers. Ares wanted to help out by buying her a penthouse but she declined the offer and told him she wanted to do it on her own. Jasmine liked being independent, besides she's almost 20, but Ares wasn't having it.
He still saw her as that scared little girl that was constantly abused by her father, and he felt the need to take care of her and wash away those memories even though he already had. But to me, I really thought he should leave Dean to that job, because Dean wasn't ready to let go either.
