The night deepened, and moonlight streamed through the gap in the curtains, casting fragmented shadows on the floor.

Lucas held Sloane in his arms, his mind drifting. He’d only ever seen her as composed and self–reliant, but this nightmare–what kind of past was she hiding that left her in such torment?

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the curtains and filled the room.

Sloane slowly opened her eyes. Almost instantly, she sensed something was off. Looking down, she saw herself tightly wrapped around Lucas.

“You’re awake,” came Lucas’s voice–hoarse, worn–out, clearly from a sleepless night.

Sloane sprang back like she’d been shocked, yanking her arms away and scrambling backward, nearly falling off the bed.

Lucas caught her by the arm just in time. “Careful.”

“Thanks,” Sloane muttered, lowering her gaze.

Lucas nodded gently, stood up, and headed into the bathroom without another word about the night before.

But even if he didn’t mention it, Sloane already knew she must’ve lost control again.

Yet something puzzled her–everything in the room was perfectly in order. In the past, whenever she had a nightmare, she’d wake up to find the room in chaos.
