The words flashed across the top of my phone screen as I checked the time, but I forced myself to ignore them.

Early this morning, I was off to my first occupational therapy appointment, determined to keep moving forward.

I hadn’t dreamed that night–or, if I had, I didn’t remember it. Yet, the earlier dreams of Alexander lingered in my thoughts. The memory of his heat, the way he looked at me, and, most of all, his words.
