Elliot's climb out of her and Jacob's bed clutching her stomach and wincing. The pain had become tolerable and the wound had mended but it still hurt to sit up, using the injured muscle. Jacob had already left leaving her to wake up and get changed by herself, which was strange as she normally had the luxury of waking up in his arms and he got the luxury of watching her undress as she got ready for the day. She changed into an easy pair of jeans with a belt and a nicer tank top that she had managed to find not to long ago. She stretched and decided that she should face the day.

She couldn't help but smile as she left the room and locked up. As much as she missed waking in his arms that morning, it was nice to know that he felt great enough to get up and leave the room before she even the chance to wake.
