Chapter 18

Kate stood in the middle of a field of long grass, the smell of the wildflowers filled her senses, and she felt happy. She held her face up to the afternoon sun with her eyes closed, and it felt good, warm, and welcoming.

“Mommy,” she heard Emily calling her, then giggle. Kate spun around looking for her daughter, but the sun was too bright, and she couldn’t see her.

“Mommy,” she heard her call once again and laughed happily.

Kate’s eyes darted in every direction, trying to find her beautiful Emily, but she was nowhere to be seen.

“Emily!” Kate called out, but there was no response, and a feeling of fear began to take hold of her.

Suddenly, dark storm clouds rolled overhead, and she was standing next to a lake. The rain was beating down hard, and she could feel the bank beneath her give way. She scrambled to get to safety, but the ground crumbled beneath her, and she hit the water with a deafening splash.

“Mommy,” she heard Emily call again, but this time it was different; this time, she was scared. Panic took hold as Kate kicked and splashed, trying hard to keep her head above the water.

“Mommy,” Emily cried out once more. Kate fought to keep afloat, but it was no use. She slowly slipped beneath the water and sunk down into the darkness…

“EMILY!” Kate cried out as she sprung up in the bed. She was covered in a thin layer of sweat and gasping for breath. She was confused, how had she ended up asleep on her bed?

“Kate,” Finn said, from the bed next to her, almost killing her with fright. “Kate, are you okay?”

Kate was stunned to find Finn on the bed next to her, and what’s more, he was completely butt ass naked. She leaped up off the bed, trying to remember how they had ended up in there.

“What the hell are you doing in here?” Kate demanded, completely shocked to see a naked Finn, sitting on her bed.

“Kate!” Finn replied, leaning forward. “Nothing happened, you were upset, and I swear, I wouldn’t…”

“Oh, for the love of God,” Kate said, turning away from Finn. “Cover yourself up.”

Finn looked down and realised the towel he had around his waist had come undone while he was asleep. He quickly grabbed it and climbed up off the bed, wrapping it around his waist once again.

“Shit, Kate,” he said completely mortified. “I hadn’t realised my towel had come off. I was just worried about you. You were having a nightmare. You were screaming and kicking. I tried to wake you. I swear, nothing happened.”

Kate turned back to Finn, the look of horror and fear etched across his face, and she couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for him. He looked at her, unsure of what he should say or do next.

“Are you okay?” he asked nervously. She simply nodded.

“Kate,” Finn said, moving slowly around the bed until he was standing in front of her. “Please, talk to me. I know you are hurting.
