It sounded like his voice was coming from a million miles away. It was faint and it echoed around in her head.
"Sam, Sam you got to wake up! Can you hear me? Sam?"
She felt his hand on her face and tried to swat it away, but had second thoughts after she felt that it was cool against her hot skin.
"Daniel?" She opened her eyes, barley daring to believe that he was real. After the night she had just experienced she wasn't sure if he was there or another delusion. Warily, she touched his face just to make sure.

"Sam lie back down, Jack should be back soon."
