Chapter 3

Dawn's day was off to a bad start. She had fallen asleep quickly the night before, thinking to herself about whether or not Brandon was the man she was meant to be with. If there was anyone out there for her other than him, she certainly hadn't met him yet. Brandon's handsome face had followed her into the realm of dreams, and she had been afraid, even in sleep, that it was some kind of an omen.

And then those fears had been shattered by an invasive face – the man from the alleyway. His handsome, broad face, the piercing ice-blue eyes, the long black hair, tied neatly behind his head with a black string. She had never encountered somebody like him before. Was it the rawness she was attracted to? Or was it simply that she was full of adrenaline, and the mind often associated that with romantic feelings?

She was pretty sure it was the latter. And yet, when she awoke in the middle of the night with a start, she thought she had seen the man's face in her window. It had given her an intense jolt through her whole body, a longing she didn't know she was capable of. It felt almost like an awakening.

As sometimes happened when her emotions were strong, another bizarre thing happened that night. She wasn't sure if something was wrong with her or what, but it was a secret about herself she had never told anyone. Shortly after seeing the face and being filled with fear and desire, her window burst open and she walked briskly to it to see if the man was actually there – but only to be greeted by an unusual cold draft. She had to calm herself down and push the confusing emotions away before the windows would stop banging against the side of the house.

When the strange sensation was finally gone, she stared out the window toward the east, consumed by a pang of desolation and loneliness; almost as if she had just lost something precious. The idea that her mind was playing tricks on her was semi comforting. She had just been through a traumatic ordeal, and on top of that she was already sleep deprived, so it was likely that she was just making things up. It must have been just a windy night, and it wouldn't be the first time an overworked nurse hallucinated a little bit because of sleep deprivation. She shouldn't sweat it too much. Maybe she was still half asleep, coming up with weird dream fragments.

Unfortunately, she ended up staying up half the night wondering if what she had seen was real. Was he really there? If so, what was he doing outside her window, which was on the second floor? Thinking hard into the night, Dawn finally fell asleep at half past four in the morning - only to wake up three hours later to get back into the swing of things. Needless to say, she was late for work.
