In the middle of the night, Tina was awakened by a nightmare!
She sat up, still a bit dazed.
âWhatâs wrong?â Kit rushed into Tinaâs room after hearing the commotion and asked.
âI just had a nightmare,â Tina replied softly.
âA nightmare?â Kit asked worriedly, âWhat kind of nightmare?â
As he spoke, he turned on the bedside lamp and gently wiped the sweat from Tinaâs forehead with a tissue.
âI dreamt of a man,â Tina said, unaware that Kitâs hand suddenly stopped.
âWhat kind of man did you dream of?â Kit struggled to control his trembling voice.
âI couldnât see the manâs face clearly, but he seemed to be in pain, writhing on the ground. I wanted to help him.â Tina said, feeling scared in the dream.
It was as if the man would die if she didnât approach and help But no matter how she tried to step forward, she couldnât get any closer to him.
And then she woke up.
Suddenly, Kit felt a sense of relief. Should he be grateful? Thankful that Tina didnât see the manâs face in her dream!
âStop thinking about it, it was just a dream,â Kit said.
âYeah, just a dream,â Tina whispered.
âAlright, go back to sleep,â Kit said.
Tina suddenly grabbed his hand, âCan you stay with me?â
Kit was taken aback, looking at Tina absentmindedly.
Tina immediately added, as if wanting to explain, âIâm still a bit scared. If you stay with me, maybe I can fall asleep faster.â
âOkay,â Kit said softly, staying by the bedside.
