There was an April in the bar, perched on a stool with a bowl of tomato soup before her. She was still having trouble with anything that required a lot of chewing, but was managing alright with the grilled cheese that accompanied it.
April looked a good deal better than she had a week ago, her bruises fading to purplish shadows. She was still in a fair amount of pain, mostly in her ribs and jaw, but could dress and groom herself, and so looked almost like a normal person.
The most extraordinary thing about April on this day was not the state of her injuries or her styled hair. It was that she looked genuinely happy. Perhaps this had to do with it being her birthday. Perhaps not.
Come say hi. She likes company.
