Tobias and I are in a field, filled with flowers of different colors. There are some people I recognize with us, but others, I don't. Turning to ask him, who these people are, or if he knows them, Tobias disappears from my vision. Panic fills my chest as I begin to run through the field, searching for Tobias, screaming his name. He doesn't answer. Tears fill my eyes, not being able to find him, I break down crying on a dirt path, a little girl appears before me, reaches for my hand, I take it, and she leads me down the path. We cross a familiar-looking bridge, we walk for miles when suddenly, I see a figure slumped on the ground. As we come closer, the man looks exactly like Tobias. Screaming his name, tears fill my eyes, he doesn't move nor does he answer me. Moving to touch him, suddenly he jumps from the ground, covered in blood, he grabs me, places his hand over my mouth, yelling, "Be quiet!" He leans in, giving me a hard kiss as he tries to force me onto the ground, using his body weight. Pushing him away, I yell, "Stop!" He doesn't. Next thing I know, he is cursing and swearing at me because I won't comply with him, with what he wants, and he draws a gun, aiming it at me. He looks me in the eye, pulling the trigger, shooting me.

Bolting up right from the couch, my shirt clings to my skin from sweating. My eyes glance around for Tobias, but he isn't anywhere to be seen. What a weird dream! "Tobias, are you home?" I call. He doesn't answer. Sighing, needing to sort through my tangled thoughts, a warm bubble bath sounds in order to me as I make my way into the bathroom, fill the tub, adding soap, and watch the bubbles fill the white tub. Sinking into the bubble-filled jungle, I pop in my earbuds, listening to relaxing music, and soon, I begin to sing out loud enjoying a particular song, not a moment later, I feel eyes on me, turning in the tub, I see Tobias, standing in the doorway, staring at me. Crossing my arms, I reply, "You could knock, you know."

"I did, you know, but you couldn't hear me." He laughs. I roll my eyes at him he continues, "I wanted to let you know I am home now. I'm going to go take a shower. Make sure you put on some comfortable clothing for today. We are going to have a day of doing nothing, but rotting our brains together on the couch." Smirking, I reply, "Okay, sounds like a plan, I will make us something for brunch after I am finished with my bath." He smirks, his eyes staying on mine, "No problem, take your time, sweetheart. I love you. In case you were wondering, you look amazing in that bubble bath, I wish I could join you." Heat floods my cheeks at his comment, I shout, "Get out of here, mister," attempting to be angry with him. He grins, a mischievous smile tugs at his lips, he replies, "Make me." My fingers land on an empty bottle of soap, and I wing towards him. He quickly closes the door, laughing as the empty bottle hits the door with a bang. Sighing, I finish taking my bath in peace.

Tobias and I meet in the living room, I hand him his plate for french toast. Tobias seems happier today than he did yesterday. I love when he is in a good mood. He laughs, watching me pour on my syrup, "Make sure you don't use too much maple syrup, and that you take your insulin. I don't want a grumpy Tris because your blood sugar is high. I also don't feel like having to bring you to the hospital on my day off because your sugar is so high, you go unconscious." Rolling my eyes at him, I smirk, "Yes sir, Dr. Eaton," saluting him. He grins, quipping an eyebrow at me, replying, "Someone is in a good mood today. I giggle, my cheeks burning from his comment as he pulls me against his side.

Tobias and I have a lazy afternoon, watching tv and catching up on movies together. After hours of watching the tv, a yawn escapes from my mouth, Tobias smirks, "We can take a nap if you would like to." I smile at him, answering his question without words, he pulls me closer to his side, and lay my head onto his chest, falling asleep.

Waking up, I land on something hard. Sitting up in a daze, I hear laughter coming from the doorway. My eyes find Tobias standing there, laughing and smiling. Laying back onto the ground, he laughs, "I can't even leave you alone for five minutes, and you end up hurting yourself. It amazes me you manage to stay in one piece in the hospital for eight hours by yourself." I grin, "Maybe, it is because I have a hot boyfriend, who is an amazing doctor, and I want to get hurt, that way he can use his hands to fix me up." Tobias raises an eyebrow suggestively, "Baby, you don't need to get hurt for me to put my hands on you. You should know that." My cheeks burn from his innuendo, I rub my elbow to try to keep the blush from showing on my cheeks. I can already see a bruise forming from where I fell on it. Tobias hands me an ice pack, taking it from him, I place the ice onto my skin, Tobias laughs at my frown, I ask sarcastically, "Are you laughing at me? I'm so glad my pain is amusing to you." He laughs, "I would never laugh at you!" Smirking, I reply, "Mmhm, sure, you wouldn't." Tobias places his arm around me, and I lean into his side, he kisses my head. Shortly after we get up from the floor, Tobias murmurs, "I'll make dinner tonight, you rest."
