I miss you, Alex!

Lisa took a moment, letting the reality sink in, realizing that the chaos and tragedy were nothing more than the remnants of a dream.

A shaky breath escaped Lisa's lips as she softly uttered, "It was just a dream."

Relief washed over her, but the feelings stirred by the nightmare lingered at the edges of her thoughts.

The warm embrace of family love and the sad events in her dream still tugged at her emotions.

Lisa took a deep breath, deciding to cast off the lingering unease.

Swinging her legs out of bed, she planted her feet on the floor with determination in her eyes. 'I need to be strong,' she thought. 'No matter what comes my way, I won't let fear take over.'

Sunlight streamed through her window, casting a cozy glow.

Lisa stood up, prepared to confront the challenges reality might throw at her.

As she moved toward the mirror, she couldn't resist a glance back at her bed, half-expecting traces of the dream to linger.
