Aria Montgomery described her love life in several different ways. I'm unavailable. I'm in a relationship. She had also had introduced Ezra Fitz in a number of different ways. He's my English teacher. He works with my dad. He's my mom's friend. Nobody would have guessed that Mr. Fitz was the person she was involved with. Nobody would have guessed that the very handsome and very single Ezra Fitz was in a relationship with a teenager. She's a former student. She's Byron Montgomery's daughter. But now…now she wasn't his student and he wasn't her teacher.

Aria and Ezra walk into the restaurant with its big windows and open floor plan where everyone could see him. She was sure that the entire population of Rosewood would be speculating about their relationship come morning. She didn't care anymore, and she knew he didn't either. The host led them to the table, and they sat down. Ezra opened his mouth to say something when Mona came up to the table.

"Aria," she gushed, "it's so nice that Mr. Fitz still keeps in contact with you even though you're not his student anymore." Aria smiled tightly as Mona went on about teachers keeping a personal interest in their students and how she wished other teachers were more like Mr. Fitz.

Aria reached for Ezra's hand across the table, her nails digging into his skin, revealing her frustration about the situation. "Mona," Aria interrupted her, "I'd like to introduce you to my boyfriend, Ezra."

Aria had lied. She did care what people thought. She wanted them to know that Ezra wasn't just an ex-teacher or friend of the family. He was her boyfriend. Let them speculate about that.
