The elevator arrives, Laniyah and Joe file in. Once the elevator doors shut, Joe asks the question he's been wanting to know.

"When can you take me to Rosalia's grave?" Joe asked Laniyah.

"Oh, well, I can take you there today if you want," Laniyah answered.

Joe nods. The doors open, and Laniyah leads Joe to a room halfway down the corridor. After their therapy session with Dr. Kinder, Laniyah brought Joe with her to visit her office.

Dr. Kinder wanted Joe and Laniyah to spend time together and see how life had changed for both of them after their breakup. To show each other the growth they had experienced. So, Laniyah decided to take Joe to the headquarters of her multimillion-dollar empire.

"This is my office," Laniyah said as she opens the door and walks in with Joe closely behind her.

Joe pulled the door closed behind him.

Joe smiled. He was very proud of everything Laniyah had accomplished after their breakup. He always believed in her and knew that she would make something of herself.

"This is amazing," Joe said as he looks at the view behind Laniyah's desk. Her view was overlooking the city.

"Please sit," Laniyah said.

Joe took a seat on the couch in her office. He noticed a bar with an assortment of snacks and a mini fridge filled with wines, iced coffees, water, and sodas.

"I see you're still obsessed with Chester's Fries," Joe said.

"Chester's Fries will always have my heart," Laniyah said as she took a seat at her desk.
