Eli jolted awake, choking on a scream. His heart smacked hard against
his chest as he drew in huge gulps of air. He scrubbed a hand over his
face, trying his best to scrape away the cobwebs of the nightmare. It
didn’t diminish the taste of bile in his mouth, or his need for a cigarette,
although, he’d quit smoking five years earlier.
He opened his eyes and stared at his ceiling. The fucking nightmares
were back and they were worse than before. It was always that same scene.
Worse, each night it grew more vivid. He could blame it on all kinds of
things, but he knew without a doubt why they’d returned.
Damn Joe for dying on him, the old bastard.
With a sigh, Eli slipped out of bed and headed to his bathroom. It was a
long walk, he thought. His room was big enough for a family of five. Joe
had insisted on it. Eli had said all he needed was a bed and a bathroom to
use, but Joe wouldn’t hear of it. The California king bed looked small in the
middle of the room. The sitting room Eli had scoffed at now had a
comfortable loveseat and a table covered with books he’d been reading.
For a guy who grew up in Australia’s foster system, and who barely
made it out of SARS, this was one damned wonderful way to end up. He
turned on the cold water and splashed his face. The last bits of the
nightmare dissolved, almost forgotten.
As he dried his face off, his mind returned to the nightmares. They’d
resumed when Joe had been transferred to Queen’s Medical on Oahu a few
months earlier. When Joe’s health had deteriorated, the dreams had
intensified. Eli knew a psychologist would have a field day with it, but he
didn’t have time for that. The Millers were arriving today, and there was a
memorial service to conduct.
He turned on the shower and waited for the water to heat. He told Joe
when they built the house they should have put in those heated pipes, but
the man had said Eli needed time to contemplate his problems. Waiting for
the shower to heat was a good way of doing that according to Joe.
The thought had Eli’s lips curving—although it hurt. It was hard to
think Eli would never have another conversation with Joe…that he would
never get to argue about unimportant things or sit and watch the sun set
over the land.
