Jason had been out of the hosipital for two months now. A lot had changed in rosewood. Spencer was back for a legal case and Ezra and I were on good terms. Jason had even accpected the fact that Ezra was here. I was walking home from work when I ran into Ezra.

"Aria." He looked so nice in his snug jeans and white shirt. He must be on his way home from work.

"Ezra."

"How was work?" My mind wandered back to the night we spent together two months ago. Small talk seemed so weird after we had sex.

"It was good. Lots of good books coming out." Ezra smiles. He grabs his phone and excuses himself. I don't know if I'm supposed to stay here and wait or continue walking.

"Hey. Yeah I just have to go home quickly and change then I'll be right over. Alright. See you soon." Did Ezra have a date?

"Who was that?"

"A friend." I raise my eyebrow.

"Okay...I'm going to go. Jason and I are going out for dinner and I need to get ready." Ezra smiles and waves good bye. We go our separate ways.

"JAS." I sent my bag down and take my heels off. I walk into the bedroom, but Jason is no where to be found. My phone starts buzzing and I pick it up.

"Hey Aria I have to work late so I'll meet you at the restuarant in an hour. I can't wait to see you."

"Can't wait to see you too. Love you."

"Love you too." I hang up and throw my phone on the bed. I take a long shower. I had time to spare since the place was only ten minutes away. After I'm done showering I sit down at the vanity. I apply my make-up slowly and then go to my closet and choose a black dress. I put on the dress and slide on my favorite purple heels and pull out my purple coat. I dry my hair and grab a clutch. Then I check myself out in the mirror. My bruises on my legs had healed nicely. I still had one on my thigh, but my dress covered it. I put on my coat and grab my clutch and walk over to the resturaut.

The night was so nice outside. The sun was getting ready to set and there was a nice breeze outside. I was looking forward to tomorrow since I was spending the day with Spencer at the spa before she left town again. And then Jason and I had our big anniversary on Friday and we were going out to the gallery for the new art opening.

"How many?" I raise two fingers and she leads the way. She sits me down at a little booth on the side. A few minutes later she brings another couple over to the table next to mine. I look over only to come face to face with Ezra and a mystery girl. He meets my eye and his face looks embarrassed like he felt like he was cheating on me.

"Aria?"

"Ezra." The girl looks me over like I'm competition. She was pretty. She had medium length brown hair and was wearing a cocktail blue dress. She looked a little bit older than me, but not old. Ezra looks at his date and looks back a me.

"Oh sorry. Laura this is Aria. Aria this is Laura." I smile at her and she fake smiles at me. It must be early in the relationship. Just then Jason walks in and walks over.

"Sorry I'm late." He sees Ezra and looks confused. I get up and kiss him before he sits across from me in the booth.

"Jason."

"Ezra."

"This is Laura. Laura this is Jason." They smile at each other.

"How do you two know each other?" Laura takes the lead on this one.

"I work at Hollis. New English professor." Of course English.

"Oh Aria works for a publishing company so you two would probably get along."

"How do you two know each other?" Laura gestures toward Ezra and Aria.

"We used to date a while ago." She raises an eyebrow. "But I'm with Jason now." I reach over and touch Jason's hand. "And we are having a romantic date so don't mind us." I turn back to face Jason and Ezra goes back to Laura. It's awkward all night, but we get through it. Jason and I finish first and leave before Ezra and Laura. It was weird seeing Ezra with someone other than me. The only other woman in his life had been Jackie and I had never seen them together together. Jason grabs my hand and squeezes my hand. Ever since I left Ezra's after that night my relationship with Jason had changed. He was sweeter and happier than before. He was starting to trust me. We get home and go our separate ways. I change into my pajamas and Jason goes back to finish work. I grab a book that I had brought home from work and escape into the author's world. Before I know it it Jason is tugging me off to bed.

I wake up the next morning refreshed. Jason was already gone for work. I make myself breakfast before getting dressed in jeans and t-shirt. I hear the bell and go downstairs.

"SPENCE!" We hug before walking to the spa.

"Wait so Ezra was there with a date?" I moan as the massusue massages my back. It feels so good.

"Yes. It was so awkward."

"And he had a date?"

"Yep her name is Laura. She teaches English at Hollis." We finish our massages and wait to get our nails done.

"Are you okay with this?" I shrug.

"It's not like I have a choice. I want him to be happy, but it is hard to see him with someone else."

"Is she ugly?" I laugh. Of course Spencer would just ask questions like that. "Why are you laughing?" She joins in laughing. We get into our seats and finish our converstation.

"No. She is pretty. I mean she could always wear better clothes, but she isn't ugly."

"How are things with Jason?" I smile.

"It's better than ever. Something just clicked inside him."

"What are you going for your anniversary again?" The nail people go away leaving Spencer and I alone to dry our nails.

"We're going to the new art gallery opening. We're going to get all dressed up and go out and mingle and drink." We pay our bill and go out for a late lunch. I spot Ezra walking with Laura. "There's Ezra and Laura." Spencer turns and sees him. He sees us and smiles at both of us. Laura asks a question which we assume is about us an he answers before they walk away.

"Well have fun. I leave tonight and I need to go pack."

"How did the trial go?" She shrugs.

"Eh it was just a favor I owed. It was just small claims. But I won." I smile. Of course Spencer won. She always won.

"I missed you Spence."

"I miss you too Aria." We hug one last time before we go our separate ways. I go to the park and sit on a bench watching the bakery. I see Ezra open the door for Laura before grabbing her hand and walking. They must be closer than I thought. I shrug off the feeling and go back home. Jason should be home soon.

We stay in for the night catching up on tv and eat take-out. We barely make it to the bed before falling asleep.

I will post another chapter later today with their anniversary day so look out for that.
