Anne jolted awake, her heart pounding in her chest, as she emerged from a terrifying nightmare. Beads of sweat trickled down her forehead, and her body trembled with fear. She glanced beside her only to find the soft, reassuring presence of her beloved husband, Gilbert. Gilbert, sensing her distress, blinked his eyes open, immediately noticing the anguish etched across Anne's face. Disturbed by her obvious distress, he gently reached out his hand and caressed her cheek. "Anne, my love, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.Tears welled up in Anne's eyes as she struggled to find her voice. "It was horrible, Gilbert," she gasped. "I dreamt that we were separated, torn apart by some force that I couldn't control. The thought of losing you… it terrified me beyond words."
Gilbert's heart ached for his wife as he pulled her closer, enveloping her in a soothing embrace. "Shhh, my dearest Anne," he whispered, his voice a comforting melody. "It was just a nightmare, my love. I'm right here, and I promise you, nothing will ever take me away from you." Anne buried her face in the crook of his neck, her quivering breaths gradually steadying against his warm skin.
