HIS AWAKENED HEART

Angel stood in front of the door she had been directed to by Ivar.

She took a deep breath to prepare her for whatever was going to go down, before she walked in.

Shutting the door behind her, she lifted her head to see the people she was supposed to be dealing with.

David quickly jumped to his feet, and walked over to her.

"Blondie," he said in a relief filled voice, as he pulled her into his arms.

From his seat, Ares stared at the duo with empty eyes.

"You have no idea how much I've missed you. Your scent, your feel— God!"

Ares watched the clown show in front of him, and concluded David was probably a better actor than he was a lawyer.

"Did you miss me?" He asked after pulling away.

Angel didn't answer. She barely even acknowledged him, as her eyes went to Ares instead.

He was looking their way too, so she was able to hold his gaze.

"How are you doing?" She asked in a voice filled with pain.
