I woke up in a cold sweat. Allison was beside me with her head on my chest. I splashed some water on my face and went to lay back down. When I got into the room Allison had woken up.
"What's wrong?"Asked Allison after seeing the expression on my face. "Oh, it's nothing. Just a nightmare," I responded.
"What was it about?" Allison wondered. Of course Allison would ask the one question I didn't want her to ask. "It's late. I'll tell you more in the morning. We'll have the whole day to ourselves," I replied hoping she'd forgot by the morning. I laid back down and she rested her head on my chest.
