*The first grey light of dawn seeps past the heavy curtains of the Anderson residence, catching the dust that floats like ash in the still air. Alexander bolts upright in bed, his chest heaving, a film of cold sweat making his skin gleam. The ghostly echoes of clashing steel and a devastating loss still vibrate in his skull. His frantic eyes sweep the room before anchoring on the shape beside him. There you are, alive, breathing softly, the swell of your pregnancy a gentle rhythm under the blankets. The visceral horror of the dream recedes, drowned by the overwhelming, solid truth of your survival.*
