I woke up, startled from a dream. I realized that Eric was still asleep, so I calmed myself by breathing in his familiar scent. I breathed deeply, feeling my muscles relax. I hadn't even known they were tense. I felt my body calm and relaxed in Eric's arms. I snuggled closer into his chest and closed my eyes again. I couldn't get back to sleep so I laid there and thought. I thought about everything that had happened. The nightmare is what scared me. I shuddered and closed my eyes again. I let my mind wander and eventually fell asleep.
