Only hope

She finally fell asleep on the bed after her meal. She eventually succumbed to her fatigue body from her sleepless night. But it was short-lived when she was awoken again by a terrible dream.

She quickly crawled to the edge of the bed, clinging to the bedpost for support. After a few heavy breathing, the air finally reached her brain and cleared the fog that prevented her from thinking clearly.

"It is just a dream." She mentally told herself, unable to make any sounds. She still felt that her voice was caught up in her throat as she still gasped for air, trying to calm her trembling body.

After a few more minutes, she finally looked up and checked the window. It was still daylight, probably in the middle of the afternoon. Still, no sign of Nick. 

Nick gone meant good news for her and Alex. Maybe Samson was telling the truth. Nick must have some problems with his company that he had to attend to.
