Taylors POV:

As we pulled up to the hotel in bustling Vegas, the fatigue of the night weighed heavily upon me, rendering me only half-awake as Travis gently carried me from the car. I was grateful that the paparazzi were nowhere in sight, though my security team remained on high alert, their vigilant presence a reassuring buffer against any potential threats.

The hotel staff shot us curious glances as we made our way inside, but thankfully, no questions were asked as Travis guided us to our room. I kept my eyes closed, the effort of trying to see through blurred vision only exacerbating the dizziness that gripped me. Limp and vulnerable, I surrendered to Travis's steady grip as he eased me onto the plush hotel bed.

I could sense Travis's weariness as he sighed, his exhaustion palpable from the exertion of carrying me up to our room. With gentle hands, he began to peel away the confines of my itchy party dress, revealing me in just my bra and underwear. Though I felt his gaze lingering on me, I lacked the strength to open my eyes, the weight of the night pressing down upon me like a heavy blanket.

A comforting warmth enveloped me as Travis draped a sweatshirt over my shivering form, his touch tender and familiar as he unclasped my bra with practiced ease. With a quiet murmur, he excused himself to the bathroom, leaving me alone with my swirling thoughts and unanswered questions.

The sense of unease that had plagued me throughout the night persisted, gnawing at the edges of my consciousness as I lay in the darkness. What had transpired to leave me in such a state? What had caused my body to rebel against me in this way? The need for answers gnawed at me, demanding resolution even as sleep beckoned like a siren's call.

Suddenly, a warm body pressed against mine, the weight of the covers settling around us like a protective cocoon. Travis's voice, filled with a tenderness that belied his exhaustion, broke through the silence. "Just go to sleep, Taylor. I'll explain everything in the morning," he murmured, enfolding me in his arms as if I were the most precious treasure in the world.

Despite the lingering questions and uncertainties that plagued my mind, I found solace in Travis's embrace. His unwavering presence was a beacon of comfort in the darkness, offering reassurance that whatever trials lay ahead, we would face them together. With a weary sigh, I surrendered to the embrace of sleep, allowing my body to finally find the rest it so desperately craved.

...

I found myself suddenly whisked away to a realm of twisted dreams, a realm where nightmares reigned supreme. As I attempted to navigate this surreal dreamscape, I felt a sinister presence lurking in the shadows, a creeping vine that coiled around my leg with an ominous grip.

The once serene forest that surrounded me now transformed into a blazing inferno, the flames licking hungrily at the air as if eager to consume everything in their path. Desperately, I tried to flee, but the vine tightened its hold, snaking its way up my body with an insidious determination. It bound me in place, ensnaring me in its grip like a spider capturing its prey.
