In the dream she was running. From something, toward something.
Someone. She plunged through dense forest woven with vines and brambles
that clawed at her legs, snared her, pulled her back. Swirls of smoky mist
writhed, serpentlike, around her calves. She couldn’t even see where her
feet touched the ground. All the while she kept calling for him, but, as
always, when she woke she couldn’t re member his name.
Jet hair stuck to her face, glued there by tears and perspiration. Her
lungs swelled like those of a marathon runner after a race. She dragged in
breath after ragged breath. Her heart felt ready to explode. Her head spun in
ever-tightening circles and she had to close her eyes tightly against the
horrible dizziness. She sat up quickly, pushing the damp hair from her
forehead, and glanced at the clock beside the bed and then at the fading
light beyond the window.
She needn’t have done so. The dream assaulted her at the same time
each day, just one part of her increasingly irregular sleep patterns.
Nighttime insomnia, daytime lethargy and vivid nightmares that were
always the same had become a predictable part of her existence. She’d
made a habit of rushing to her room for a nap the second she got home from
work, knowing it would be the only sleep she was likely to get. She’d sleep
like the dead until just before dusk, only to be wakened by that frightening,
lingering dream.
The effects slowly faded, and Tamara got to her feet, pulled on her satin
robe and padded to the adjoining bathroom, leaving tracks in the deep,
silvery pile of the carpet. She twisted the knob on the oversize tub and
sprinkled a handful of bath oil beads into the rising water. As the stream of
water bubbled and spurted she heard an urgent knock, and she went to the
door.
Daniel’s silver brows bunched together over pale blue, concern-filled
eyes. “Tam? Are you all right?”
She closed her eyes slowly and sighed. She must have cried out again. It
was bad enough to be certain her own sanity was slipping steadily out of
her grasp, but to worry the man who’d been like a father to her for the past
twenty years was too much. “Of course, I’m fine. Why?”
“I…thought I heard you call.” His eyes narrowed to study her face. She
hoped the circles beneath her eyes didn’t show. “Are you sure you’re—”
“Fine. I’m fine. I stubbed my toe on the bedpost, that’s all.”
Still he looked doubtful. “You look tired.”
“I was about to take a nice hot bath and then I’m down for the night.”
She smiled to ease his worry, but it turned to a frown when she noted the
coat over his arm.
