The next morning, aria's eyes slowly opened as she woke from her peaceful dream.  At first, she felt her brain jolt in alarm at the unfamiliar feeling of something warm in her bed.  But as she turned over, a sigh escaped her lips as she remembered Xander's visit from the previous night.   A smile formed on her face as she gazed at him, happiness swelled in her heart as she remembered that her dear friend had returned to her life.<br/><br/>"Xander......hey, it's time to get up.  If a maid catches you in here, we'll be in big trouble" she whispered to him softly as she shook him lightly.  She couldn't remember the last time she had taken a chance at something.  It was exciting and new and the entire time she had whispered to him, her smile remained.   The rise and fall of Xander's soft breathing made her want to fall back asleep, but she didn't want him to get caught or for anyone to get the wrong idea.
