Chapter 111: Careful

I woke up gasping, sweat coating my entire body. The dream decided to visit me last night. I take in a deep breath and wait for my racing heart to slow. Ethan lays beside me sleeping peacefully and I resist the urge to reach out and touch him. Carefully I slide out from under the sheets and move towards the dresser.

Quickly, I grab joggers and a workout bra for training. The sun hadn’t risen yet and the moonlight filtered in through the window. The outcome replaying over and over in my mind. A constant reminder of what could happen to everyone I care about.

My heart restricted, pushing the thoughts aside I headed into the shower to prepare myself for the busy day I had ahead of me. I didn’t have time to sit and wallow in sadness and depression over something that hasn’t happened yet.
