"Arg!"
Ulrich sat up in bed, panting. It had happened again - another nightmare. He picked up his mobile from the nightstand and dialed. A familiar voice greeted him at the other end.
"So it happened again, didn't it."
Yumi, recently aroused from a deep sleep, was groggy yet knew exactly what was going on. Ulrich smiled at that. They had been engaged for several months now, and he could not wait until that special day came.
"Hello? Ulrich?"
Ulrich had spaced out. Quickly he responded, "Yes it did. But this time a lot worse. I'm getting worried Yumi."
"It's been on and off for 2 weeks now, darling. You really ought to tell Jeremy."
"Nah, it's nothing. It's probably bad chicken."
"Bad chicken for two weeks? Even Odd couldn't eat that." She laughed.
"Oh, all right," Ulrich replied reluctantly. "I'll go see him in the morning. Good night for now, my love."
