Epilogue
Oscar woke with a start, on his office sofa, but all alone. It had all been a dream, but damn - it felt real! His heavy breathing became a heavy sigh. He decided to get some coffee at the diner across the street before returning - alone - to his office.
------------
Jaime woke up so suddenly that she nearly fell off the bench. It was only a dream. So why was Oscar standing next to the bench, looking down at her?
"Babe? You ok?" Jaime smiled sleepily at him and nodded. When she sat up, he sat beside her. They looked at each other in silence for a minute or two, each trying to reconcile the images in their head with the person sitting next to them. Out of the silence, in near-perfect stereo unison, both spoke at once:
"You'll never believe the dream I just had!"
