CAMILLA’S P.O.V

I awoke with a gasp. The remnants of what was my dream swirled around my head ready to be taken away with the morning wind. I reached blindly for the dresser until I found my journal and ink and I started writing. I wrote down everything I could remember in a hurry. The sun was standing in the middle of the sky but I might as well have still been in the dark with how disoriented I was. I furiously scribbled until the blank pages were filled with words, half of which didn’t make a lot of sense to me.

wasn’t sure how long he had been standing there, all I knew was that there was worry in his features.

He looked like he wasn’t sure whether he wanted to pull me away or come to me. I slowly set down my pen and gave him the most easy going smile I could muster but that did little to ease his worry.

I could still feel the coldness of her presence and the echo of her voice in the stillness around me.

He whispered soft words into my ears and although I couldn’t make out most of them, his presence was more than enough for me. I wasn’t sure how long we stood there, it felt like hours but in reality, I knew it wouldn’t have been more than a few minutes of us just intertwined with each other.
