Dreaming of You: Chapter Three

Chapter 3


The late morning orange glow of sunlight
was harsh against my still closed eyelids as it filtered in through my
window.  I groaned, my head throbbing and
rolled away from the brightness, covering my head with my pillow. I
absentmindedly stretched out my hands feeling around my bed for the warm body I
somehow knew wouldn’t be there.  I lifted
my head, peering around my empty room.
