The door opened and through it strolled Aria's diminuitive frame. She was stripped of her coat and absurd weapons. A brief glance might have suggested she was a normal human being, but Dane knew better.
He cocked his head to one side, but otherwise did not smile or welcome her. He remained quiet and impassive. She was less beautiful than he remembered. Then again, she wasn't stabbing a naked woman to death and bathing in the blood afterward. Red was a becoming color against those jade-green orbs.
She stroked his cheek and his lids slid low, lulled into the drape of a heavy fog. He was suddenly worn and weak, like his muscles might melt from the bone. When he opened his eyes she was still standing there, studying him.
"I don't know. That bitch doctor gave me some sort of sedative, and I am trapped."
His gaze fell low, away from Aria's eyes. "Why are you here?"
He asked, neither excited nor upset, but he was curious.
