Why do I feel this way?

Chapter 28: Sunshine

*** Super short... but I have a feeling y'all might be fine with it... 🤣❤️

Vivian jerked awake. She wasn't sure where she was— her brain fogged with panic. Her pajamas and bed soaked with sweat. Tears pouring from her eyes. She sat up and swung her legs off the bed and froze.

I don't know what is real. Was I really just in the living room with her? Was it real? Or... just a dream? How did I get here? This feels like my bed... my bedroom. But is it? How did I get up here?

She finally regained the ability to assess her surroundings. Unsure of her current state, she pinched herself. "Ouch!"

Okay I know this is real... but what about Siobhan. Was that real or was that a dream? My head is filled with confusion...

Vivian's heart raced as she sprinted down the stairs to the living room. No Siobhan, no blood— nothing. She frantically searches for her phone to call Siobhan. Once she finds her phone and dials the number, she tries to take in a deep breath, but it catches in her chest. Eyes are filling of more and more tears with each ring.

*Ring

*Ring

*Ring

When the ringing stops, so does her heart. She crumbles to the floor as she hears the most beautiful voice she has ever heard say, "Hi gorgeous, I missed you— my sunshine."

All Siobhan heard from the other end of the call was a thud followed by a loud gasp. "Sunshine, what's wrong? You okay?" Still catching her breath, Vivian forced a laugh "Never better, love." Siobhan raises her eyebrow, "Okay..." Vivian can hear the confusion in her voice, "Bon, I'm going to come see you as soon as I drop Jamie off at the nursery. I will explain when I get to you. I love you!" Siobhan tells Vivian she loves her before hanging up.

I don't know what that was about, but I could almost feel her panic through the phone. However, she said she was never better... No reason to be anxious... Still, I'm just ready for her to get here. Something... just feels off...
