In the twilight space between waking and sleep, in the state where she forgets all the terror, she imagines a life where they can be together. She sees the years unfolding, the world changing around them, but they stay the same, they stay together, they thrive together. In the dawn of her waking mind lives a dream of a life she can never have, but still yearns for, an exciting life with him.
