“Because I’m in love with someone else.”
“Just a dream…just a dream.” I felt my own heartbeat to make sure this reality was the true one. Tears streaked from my eyes and down my cheeks. “Wasn’t real…” I reached for my phone on the nightstand, and without thinking any of it through, I called Bastien. My mind was still in a haze, still asleep in many ways even though I felt wide awake. I knew I shouldn’t call him, but I did anyway. It’d barely rung one time before he picked up. “Sweetheart?” His voice was calm and strong like always, so he was alive and well.
When I didn’t say anything, he spoke again. “Talk to me, sweetheart.” There was more urgency to his voice now. “Are you okay?” Men’s voices were audible in the background like he was working, but he picked up for me anyway. It took me a second to talk, like I was still suffering from sleep paralysis. “I’m okay… I had this dream… I don’t know why I called you.” “You called me because I’m your man and you’re scared. I’ll be there in ten minutes.” “It’s okay. You don’t need to do that—” “I want to do that, sweetheart.” He hung up without saying goodbye.
