As the darkness fades, the world around me brightens.

Did I pass out???

As I become aware of my surroundings,  I realize that Robin and I are still on the couch and it was all just a bad dream.

"Robin, it was terrible." I say in between sniffles.

"It's over now. I've got you." He reassures me.

The reassurence fills me with a comfortable warmth, but I'm afraid to fall back asleep.

Having a nightmare is so embarrassing.

I stay awake for about an hour, enjoying Robin's embrace. After a while I go to the kitchen to start breakfast.

I'm cooking eggs when Robin wakes up. He walks in the kitchen and comes up and hugs me from behind and kisses my neck. I giggle.

That tickles in the best way, Robin.

"Good morning, beautiful." He says with love.

I place my hands on his and blush a little.

I'm so glad he's mine.
