It has been a week and they have stopped in many inns on their trip to London.

Many fiery nights with Douglas Bhaskar. Maybe her consciousness felt ashamed.

That night she dreamed about him.

Everything is covered in mist.

Where am I?

Suddenly she sees him. George, her late husband.

"Are you happy?" asks him.

"George, I'm sorry..."

"I just wanna you to be happy," says him while caressing her head.

"I'm sorry, George..."

Doug got awakened in the middle of the night. She's crying in her sleep. Kept calling for George's name.

He throws away a blanket in his rage. All the fun they had been doing. Yet, he couldn't erase his name from his heart.

Doug rises from his bed. Walking in a circle in the small bedroom.

(I hate you, Emmie. Why you always made me suffer like this? George, always him).

Doug smiles wickedly.

(I only crave for your body. Not your heart, Emmie. Just your lovely body).

And he plunders her again.

Emmie got awakened from her dream when he got in.

Doug looks weird. As if he has got berserk.

(Mine! Mine! Mine! Your body is mine. Who needs your heart? I don't need your love).

With each thrust, he claims her as his woman. Emmie spreads her legs wider to accommodate him better.

Finally it's over. He collapses on top of her. But he quickly rises from bed.

Doug says, "I'm going for a drink."

"What's wrong?" asks her.

"Nothing, wife. Just a silly dream. I dreamed you married George, not me. Only a silly dream."

Emmie gasps but says nothing at all.

Doug has gone to drink in a bar downstairs.

(He's starting to remember. I know he would remember it sooner or later. I must go. Before he remembered the whole truth).

Emmie quickly rises from the bed. It's impossible to wear her clothes on her own. A lady needs a maid's help to wear her dress.

She has been borrowing Doug's clothes whenever they rest for the night in the inn. It's so comfortable to wear a man's clothes. Easier to move.

Emmie wears Doug's clothes and his hat. She stares to the murky mirror in the room. Not really convincing as a man. But it would be safer to travel as one.
