Chapter Twenty-Eight

Erica jolted awake, sitting upright in the bed as she finally escaped the fog of sleep. Her heart was pounding within her chest so hard that she was surprised it was still within the confines of her ribs. Her skin was coated in a fine layer of perspiration and the tell-tale moisture she felt on the sheets beneath her fingers told her she had been sweating for some time. Her eyes darted around her room frantically trying to find the faceless enemy that haunted her sleeping hours. As had been the case every other night she had had the dream, she found nothing. The nightmare with the bodiless voice had thankfully not occurred every night she had stayed in her new home, coming and going sporadically. She swung her legs to the side and forced herself from the warmth of her sheets. As was always the case, the light from Sebastian's bedroom called to her. They had been living in the cabin for a little over a week and since the first night that she had had the nightmare, his door was always open, silently inviting her to join him. Despite the fact that he had said he wouldn’t take their relationship further until she was more sure of her feelings towards him, he had never turned her away when she needed the comfort he so easily provided after the horrors of her dreams.

She quickly crossed the short distance that separated them and walked into his room. His sheets were, as usual, tangled around the lower half of his body, as they had been every night she had walked into his room. One night she had decided to watch him prepare for bed. Seeing him walk through his nightly routine had been surprisingly intimate but she had only been concerned with how exactly he put himself to sleep. Surprisingly she had found that the duvet was wrapped tightly around his upper torso when he had put himself to sleep, telling her that her fiancé was unable to stay still in bed. She had momentarily pondered about what would happen when they eventually started sharing a bed, the thought of being unceremoniously kicked out of bed by Sebastian's wandering limbs had her in hysterics and she had left his room moments later.

Her hand reached forward as though to wake him but as a thought came to her it froze in mid air. I shouldn’t do this. She snatched her hand back, clutching it tightly against her chest. Our relationship is never going to progress if he thinks that he has to take care of me all the time. All that this is doing is reminding him that I can’t remember anything. Just because I can’t remember what came before doesn’t mean that I’m not perfectly capable of taking care of myself. Yes, it is nice to have Sebastian with me but I want him to know that he can rely on me too. He can’t take everything onto himself.

That’s the spirit.
