We drove all day in silence, unspoken words thick in the air between us. Several times I opened my mouth, determined to come clean and clear the air between us, but somehow I just couldn’t. It was too embarrassing—too risky. Lunch was eaten with scarcely a word exchanged between us and I was beginning to think Phillip and I were never going to speak again. Was I willing to ruin our friendship over my unwillingness to take a risk? The whole situation was becoming ridiculous.

We were driving down the road, the sun sinking into the west when I decided that something had to give and finally got up the nerve to speak.

“Phillip…” I began.

The exact same moment that he said, “Kate, I…”

“Phillip, just listen,” I told him, wanting desperately to get the words out before my courage deserted me and I changed my mind. “It’s you. You’re the other person in my dream. You’re the man who’s…” I felt my cheeks color and I couldn’t meet his eyes, but I forced myself to go on. “Who’s making love to me.” I finished quickly.

Abruptly, he pulled the sedan off of the highway and into the parking lot of a conveniently placed rest area.

He turned to me, facing me fully and gripped both my hands in his. “God, Kate—

you don’t know what it means to me to hear you admit that,” he said in a low, intense voice.

I felt my hands trembling in his as I shook my head.

“No, I don’t,” I told him, finally meeting his deep, hazel eyes. “I don’t know. What does it mean to you, Phillip? Why is it so important for me to admit this to you?”

“It’s important because it gives me hope, Kate,” he told me quietly. He squeezed my shaking hands. “Hope that maybe, just maybe deep down in your subconscious you feel the same way about me that I feel about you. God!” he exploded suddenly, causing me to jump.

He stared intently into my eyes. “I know I shouldn’t say this—I know it will probably ruin everything, but Kate, you mean so much to me. I can’t imagine my life without you. You’re a part of me. I trust you with my life, my hopes, my dreams and even my fears—everything. I guess I’ve just been hoping that someday you could let down your guard and trust me too. That you could want me the way I want you. The dream … your dream made me hope that might be possible.”

Hearing Phillip admit this, I felt like I had walked from a pitch black closet suddenly into a brilliant flood of sunshine. I was literally blinded by the intense outpouring of emotion I heard in his voice. It was a very disorienting feeling.

“It is possible, Phillip.” I heard myself telling him. “I mean … I do feel the same way about you that you feel about me. I trust you and I want you. I can’t imagine what I’d do without you.
