Tessa and Aiden relaxed the rest of the day. They watched some movies, played with Beau and even played some board games. The more time they spent together, the more comfortable they were. They talked about what the liked and small details to pass the time. Tessa made sure to ask Aiden a lot of question so she wouldn't have to think of her own life too deeply.
After they finished dinner and cleaned up, Aiden asked somrthing that he's been thinking about all day.
"Do those men know what you look like?" Tessa looked up at him and it finally dawned on her that they knew exactly what she looked like.
Her face paled as she replied to his question, "There are family photos all over our home. I'm sure they seen them and know what I look like. We just hung my graduation pictures up last week."
Aidens face dropped, until an idea entered his head.
"Okay I have a crazy idea, but I'll need you to trust me" he watched as Tessa hestitated until she finally nodded her head for him to continue.
"I'm going to have to invite someone over and for you to have an open mind."

"Aiden why do you always call me out here at the most inconvenient times? You know I have a life too!" Tessa looked out the window as she watched Aiden talk to a girl that looked similar to him, but a lot fiestier.
"Lyrah, you know I only ask when I really need your help. You know I would do anything for you" Aiden said to the girl as he hugged her tightly.
A small pain rose in Tessa's chest. 'You barely know him calm down. You can't be jealous' her thoughts always brought her back to logic.
Aiden started walking the girl up to the door and Tessa quickly went to sit on the couch, afraid to be caught snooping. As the door opened she saw a petite woman enter. Her short black hair was stunning against her olive skin. He bright green eyes were mesmerizing and she had a smile that lit up the entire room.
As she noticed Tessa she looked back at Aiden with a curious look on her face. "You have company? Is this why I'm here?" Tessa couldn't help but notice the even bigger smile now on the woman's face. She knew she was going to like her.
"Tessa I'd like you to meet my little sister, Lyrah. Lyrah, this is my friend Tessa. I won't go into details, but Tessa needs a drastic make over. It's that she doesnt look good as she is" Aiden blushed and quickly looked over to Tessa. This made her smile.
"She is in hiding. We dont know from who, but someone is after her. I was lucky enough to find her and bring her in last night." Aiden didn't want to give his sister too many details, she's nosy and honestly it was probably safer that way.
Lyrah looked from Aiden to Tessa and sighed "Okay let's get this make over rolling. Can you trust me to make you unrecognizable but also gorgeous?"
"Absolutely!" Tessa smiled at her. She was very straight forward which was rare in Tessa's world.
Lyrah had Aiden set us a chair in the kitchen next to the sink and got to work on Tessa's make over.
