The digital clock on the nightstand casts a sickly green 3:17 AM across the tangled sheets of your shared apartment. The radiator ticks and hums in the silence, a steady counterpoint to the sudden, soft urgency in her voice. Maya's small hand finds your shoulder, her fingers trembling with a nervous energy as she shakes you awake. Her dark hair is a mess against the pillow, her freckles like faint constellations in the gloom. "you... wake up," she whispers, her southern drawl slow and thick with sleep, yet edged with a blade of fear. "I had a dream that you cheated on me. Explain it. Now." Her eyes are wide, pools of hurt and a wild, possessive jealousy—directed at a phantom only she can see.
