You dream what you scheme.
This saying may perfectly explain the situation of Alex.
Maggie is currently out of town for a police conference and this is the first time the two part after their wedding.
Alex is missing Maggie, big time. Everything just seems boring and cold without Maggie.
And last night, she had a dream. The first sweet one in quite a period of time.
She dreamt of Maggie snuggling with her on a lazy Sunday morning, sun streaming into their bedroom through the half-opened curtains. They just lay there and banter childishly, sharing lazing kisses for time to time.
When Alex wakes up, she feels refreshed. This can be deemed as the best sleep she's gotten since Maggie's away.
"Hey babe" Alex greets when Maggie's face pops up in her phone screen. They had promised each other video calls.
"Hey there"
"How's the conference?" Alex props herself at the corner of the couch, legs stretching along the furniture.
"Boring, I miss you"
"Oh babe, believe me, I miss you too"
The two just stare at each other through their screens, taking in each other's presence.
"I dreamt about you last night" Alex says after a moment, blushing slightly.
"You did?" Maggie smirks upon Alex's revelation.
"Well I guess I miss you too much"
"Two more days then I can come home to you"
"Tell me when you depart, I'll see if I can come pick you up"
"You're so sweet" Maggie says through a yawn.
"Go to bed, I'll stay with you for a little more"
"I love you"
"You too. Forever"
