“Sorry.” She pauses and rests her cheek on his arm. “I had a very terrible dream.”
He doesn’t answer, but instead moves, lifting the arm that she clings to so that he can wrap it around her. She adjusts too, her head now resting on his chest. She can hear his beating heart and feel his warm skin and smell the faint scent of lavender.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“I’m still deciding.” Her head feels heavy, like her mind is still swimming in the dream. She clings to him a little tighter, trying to pull herself awake. His fingers gently card through her hair and she sighs, sinking closer to him. And then, in a small whisper she adds, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have woken you up.”
“On the contrary,” says Gale, “I’d feel quite guilty if I found out tomorrow that you had a terrible dream and did not stir me from my slumber.” He keeps his voice light, continuing to stroke her hair. Sometimes his fingers catch in the tumbles of curls, but he doesn’t seem to mind. Instead, he patiently twists his fingers in and out of her hair, not ever tugging too much.]
