Aria woke up as the sun started to rise over the horizon. It was still early in the morning, much earlier than she was use to waking. Then again this past week it was actually normal for her. A smile made its' way to her lips as she thought about that past week. Despite everything they had been amoung the best days in which she could remember, even if she did feel a bit spoiled.<br/><br/>The cuts on her stomach were finally to a point where there were almost completely healed. All that was left was a small bit of scaring. Her check was still a bit on the sore side where it had been broken but at least all her bruises seemed to have all but gone. The memories of what had happened were still there but she did her best in trying to forget them, hiding them somewhere deep within her mind.<br/><br/>She gazed over at the sunrise and happily watched all the colors dancing in the sky as the sun announced its' presence. Looking over she noticed Butch wasn't there. Though it didn't surprise her, she hadn't felt his presence when she woke. He was off doing his own thing she assumed and she would never ask. This hadn't been the first morning she woke up alone. Waking up to him still next to her or seeing him walking towards her with his shirt off...both very rewarding.
