None of this can be real.
The abduction.
Her leaving.
His death.
Her return.
The thoughts swirling around inside my brain make everything seem surreal. I want to tell the whole world to stop spinning, for only a moment, so I can collect myself.
With eyes closed, I inhale sharply, holding the breath tightly in my chest. I know that sleep must come, but the dreams torment me as much as the reality.
I exhale only when the feeling of her head on my shoulder and her hand on my chest tell me the truth.
All of this is real.
