' Calm down, it was just a dream. Breathe in, breathe out. Good.' Gerald had been awake for over an hour, doing nothing but staring at the beauty he was on bed with. He woke up after noticing a change in her breathing pattern, and had been awake ever since.
He knew that she was having a dream. She had those dreams quite frequently in the 17 years since they wear married. They mostly began with him asking her to marry him, and ended with her taking her life. It usually varied, how she got to that point, but eventually, she always did.
All forms of therapy that money could buy had been tried, but nothing helped. He decided a long time ago that he married her for better, for worse, with nightmares or without, he would be with her forever.
Tess settled into bed again and looked at Gerald as he pulled her into a tight embrace. He had been so patient and supportive of her and her weird dreams.
She thought about the mysterious events that happened in this version of the dream and said a silent prayer for their protection. That had always helped her. She closed her eyes, and tried to go to sleep, dreading the next dream.
Author's Note
I never intended for this story to be this long, but as I was writing, there were a few plot points and plot holes I wanted to clear.
I wanted it to be part of my upcoming short story collection, Down the Hallway, watch out for it, but it was a little too long for that, so it became a stand alone on its own.
There is nothing left, so if there is anything you think you would change in the story, please comment. Looking forward to your reviews.
Hope you enjoyed it. It's all love from this part of the world.
Peace.
