24-Somebody Come Save Me.

"What the fuck are you doing? Get off me!" I finally managed to free my mouth, pushing him away and rising from the couch, only to find myself standing alone like a fool with Sawyer still in bed.

I was breathing like a bull and sweating too. But tears were what blurred my vision for a moment. "Oh, darn it!" I covered my mouth with my hand and took deep breaths. The nightmare had rattled me so much that my screams woke Sawyer.

"I'm sorry, it was just a nightmare," I apologised to him, but facing him after the fright was too much, so I dashed into the bathroom to splash water on my face. What a dreadful way to start the day. This wasn't just something I had out of the blue. It rooted from a deep memory of mine but I shook it off the minute i was in the bathroom.

After shaking off the trauma of the nightmare and dressing in a black dress, I welcomed Ginny into the room. No wonder Sawyer used the restroom so infrequently; he must have been attending to his business while I slept.
