“Joshua!” I scream. “No!” I struggle again as I try to break free. “Joshua!” I scream.

I am shaken awake. “Tash … baby, I’m here. It’s ok.”

My terrified eyes flick around the room as I sob and shake in fear. It was just a nightmare.

Joshua pulls me into an embrace. “You’re safe, it’s ok,” he whispers. “Jesus. What were you dreaming about?”

I sob into his chest as he cuddles me, and my eyes flick around the room again. We are in my lounge room. My body shakes with fear, and perspiration dampens my skin. My chest racks with sobs, why am I still having this horrible nightmare? What does it mean?

“Tash, talk to me. What were you dreaming about?” he whispers into the top of my head as he holds me tightly.

I sob again. “The one where they kill you and rape me,” I whisper.

He frowns. “The same dream you had in the hospital?”

I nod and start to wipe the tears from my face.

“How often do you have this dream?” he asks, horrified.

I shrug. “At least twice a week,” I whisper.

He frowns again. “What? You are this scared at least twice a week on your own, in the middle of the night?”

I nod as I drop my head in shame. “I feel like I am going crazy,” I whisper.

“Tash.” He pulls me back down to lie with him. “It’s ok. I’m not going to die and no one is going to rape you … no one, except me maybe.” He smiles as he kisses my forehead again.

I snuggle into his chest as my heartbeat starts to slow down. His t-shirt is wet from my tears. He idly starts to run his fingers through my hair as he thinks.

“When did these nightmares start?” he asks.

“Two days after Dad died,” I reply sadly.

“It’s not true, Tash. It’s just a dream. Nobody is going to get you. You are safe.”

I nod. “Josh, you are not safe—that crazy man is after you. What if it’s a premonition? What if they do get us? What if it’s Dad trying to send me a message through my dream?”

He tutts in sympathy. “Stop thinking like that. We have so much security around us no one can touch us.”

I nod and kiss his chest in a thankful gesture.

“What do you do to calm yourself when you are alone?” he asks.

I shrug, embarrassed.

“Huh?” he asks as he kisses my forehead again.

“I take a hot shower,” I whisper.

“Come on then, up you get.” He pushes me up from his chest and onto my feet. “Shower time.”

I get up slowly, walk to the bathroom and hear him open my linen press in the hall and get me out a towel. I turn the hot water on and wait for it to heat up.

He walks into the bathroom and over to me. I’m embarrassed. I feel like a little kid freaking out over a stupid dream. He slowly pulls my nightdress over my head, as his eyes don’t leave mine. His hands run down my legs as he removes my panties, and he gently kisses my stomach on the way back up my body.
