Way #3:
Turn to the ones you love when a bad dream strikes.
Alan was fast asleep in the garden at night, and he drifted into the worst dream he ever had - one where Tin Tin was covered from head to toe in canker sores. When he touched her, he got infected too, but when he woke up back in the garden, he was just fine. He told Tin Tin all about his dream, and upon realisation she wasn't infected, both of them shared a hug under the gently glowing moonlight, glad to be together again.
