I wake up from
sleep and gasp
for air, sitting
upright in
bed.
I suddenly smell
the aroma of
breakfast.
Tetsuya remains
quiet as he stares
at me with worry.
He’s preparing
breakfast in the
small gas oven.
“I had a nightmare.”
I whisper as my body
trembles, feeling like
crying as I hold back
my tears.
Tetsuya walks over
and gives me a
gentle hug.
I hug back, feeling
grateful to be in his
embrace.
I feel safe, not in
harm’s way.
“You were sleeping
for a while so I didn’t
wake you.” Tetsu
says.
I look out the window
and see that it’s
daylight.
I’m so glad.
“The night was
so long….” I
frown and
sniffle.
“Indeed. Should
we eat breakfast?”
He asks.
I nod in agreement,
“What did you make?”
