182 No Turning Back

Caroline wakes up from the bad dream, gasping for breath.

She calms herself for a few seconds. Why on earth she was dreaming of Alex? She's not even thinking of that guy. Why she can dream of other people that are not part of her life?

She rises from the bed, exited the room, and went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water.

She stayed in the kitchen for a few minutes while holding the glass, drinking the water in a relaxed manner.

She went back to the bed and checked the time on the wall clock, it's already 3:00 in the morning. It's not yet time to wake up. She closed her eyes ready to sleep again.

She falls back into slumber at 4:00 in the morning.

A few hours later.

Caroline woke up at 9:00 in the morning. She was greeted with silence in the bedroom, reaching for the husband that was not there, then she remembered that she was sleeping alone in the bed.
