"Maura, are you sure you're okay?" Jane asked, after she'd been awoken from Maura who had yet another nightmare.
"No." She said honestly, pausing slightly. "But I'm dealing with it." She continued.
"Are you sure Maura? Because you've been having nightmares every night for the past 2 weeks." Jane responded with concern.
"Yes I'm sure. It's a process Jane." Maura answered, trying to reassure her wife that she would be okay.
"I know it is Maura, but I'm worried. And you need your sleep."
"Jane don't worry. I know you can't help it but try not to because I'll be okay." Maura replied.
"Okay." Jane answered, feeling unconvinced about that. "Do you want me to make you some tea?" She asked, knowing it might help to calm her wife down.
"Please Jane that would be lovely." Maura answered, smiling weakly.
"Okay sweetheart. I'll be right back." Jane told her before getting up to make Maura some tea.
"Thankyou Jane." Maura told her, after Jane had brought the tea up to their room.
"That's okay." She answered, and sat back into the bed next to her wife. "You can always tell me if somethings wrong. You know that right?"
"I know Jane. I just don't want to worry you."
"It's okay Maura. I understand. Don't worry about worrying me though."
