Days turned into weeks since the accident, but Alex still felt her heart break each morning when she woke. She didn't know what hurt more, Jeff being gone, or remembering the words that were read, words that came from the mind of the man she loved. Shannon was still staying with her most nights, though he had taken to going home a few nights every two weeks. He said he didn't want her to get tired of him too fast, which usually at least got a small giggle out of his friend. He still had something on his mind about the reading, but had done as Alex asked, and let it be.

The blonde man turned over in the guest bed at Alex's place, trying to will himself to go back to sleep, until he heard Destiny laughing and babbling from somewhere in the house. His guess was the living room, but he wouldn't swear to it. Shannon stretched and padded out into the house.

"Mornin'." Alex greeted him from the kitchen where she was putting away dishes from the night before.

"Mornin'. How'd ya sleep?" He asked. He was worried about her getting enough rest, she had confided in him about her reoccuring dream of the woods, and he knew she had taken to trying to not sleep as much as possible.

"Same."

"Did you...?" Shannon started to ask but Alex was a step ahead of him.

"Of course. If I go to sleep for five minutes I dream of that damn tree... I just don't know. What in the hell is it supposed to mean?"

Shannon reached down to ruffle Destiny's hair before he answered his friend.

"I have no clue Alex, I really don't. Have you mentioned it to Matt? He's all deep and shit, maybe he could help ya out." The statement only earned him a skeptical look.

"Yeah, I see how that would go! He's too damn logical to think of a meaning behind it." She shrugged her shoulders as she closed a cabinet.

"Was it the same, or did more add on?" She had also informed him that it seemed every so often, the dream would get more in depth, going further with more detail. By this point, it had transformed from just the woods to going through the woods and focusing on a specific cluster of trees, or one in particular. Alex wasn't quite sure which.

"About the same I think."

"Talk to Matt about it, he may surprise you." Alex rolled her eyes at her friend before walking in and sitting in the floor to play with her daughter.

"Hey, Matt?" Alex looked at her brother in law as he rummaged through her fridge.

"Yeah?" His brown eyes looked up towards her.

"Uh well..."

"Just spit it out already Alex!" Shannon called from the table. Alex shot him a stare that made him throw his hands up in the air in surrender.

"I've been having this dream..." And so the woman started in on the retelling of the visions that had been haunting her since Jeff's death. Matt listened intently, filing the information and nodding as she went on.

"What do you think?" Matt rubbed his eyes and sighed.

"I don't know. I'm not sure I buy into the whole meaning behind dreams thing or not, but could you describe the tree to me, please?"

Alex started thinking, closing her eyes trying to picture it behind her eyelids.

"Um, not really big, but not small... It's in a small cluster, but it catches your attention when you look that way. Tall... And it's wood." Then ending comment made both men laugh at her smartass attitude but Matt quickly went back to analyzing what was said.

"Well, I'm not sure. I don't know how, or why, but if I take you somewhere I can see if this one tree looks like the one you are seeing... Jeff used to have a tree that he loved back in the woods behind Daddy's... He'd climb it, hide in it, go there to think, or put important things there... From what you've said, it could be it, but it also probably describes about half the trees in the world. Or at least in Cameron huh?"

Alex nodded, wondering if it was the tree from her dreams. She started making plans with Matt to go see if they could find it the following day.
