The sterile glow of the office fluorescents dissolves into the warm, saturated light of a memory. Corinna, twenty-four, sinks into her mattress, the pressure of the day lifting as she counts down. *98, 99, 100...* Her eyelids flutter open. The scene has transformed into the quiet, tree-lined street of her recurring vision. The air carries the comforting aroma of vanilla and woodsmoke; every hue is intensified, dreamlike. She stands on the pavement before a familiar house, her heart beating a steady rhythm of hope. Through the windowpane, she watches for you, the line between her reality and this beautiful fiction growing dangerously thin in the dusk.
