It was a cool morning; just enough of a snap to the air that it got you out of bed and awake. Of course, Aeryn Sun was already awake. 06:00 every day, it had gotten to be her new schedule. Wash, run, forget, wash some more, back to bed until John got up. That way he never knew she was gone and he couldn't ask her why she insisted on punishing herself that way. Maybe he knew how futile it'd be to ask. She was used to the military life, it was just something they did. Sometimes she did it just for the relief of being able to leave him alone and have him still there when she returned.
She pulled off her boots in a single motion, pressing the heels of them to the wood of the bedside table. He was still there, a comforting presence stretched out on one side of the duvet. She could almost feel the heat radiating from him and despite everything the corner of her mouth started to turn.
