“It’s okay. I promise. I’m here.” I feel him wrap his arms around me and hold me to his chest as I wake from a terrible dream. In the dream I was being chased my snakes and lizards, which I have an irrational fear of, but now I'm awake my fear appears unfounded. There are no reptiles, just a beautiful man lying next to me. His beautiful face is marred my his frown, so I turn around to face him and kiss him softly. When I break away his features are once again graced by a lopsided grin.
