A different dream

Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

~ London ~

The familiar scent of pine trees mixed with the ocean soothed me in the complete darkness of my dream.

I didn't dream about Duke in what seems like forever, and the way his arms wrapped around me with urgency put a smile on my face.

"Hey…", he murmured into my hair.

"Hey yourself…", I responded dreamily while nuzzling his neck with my nose. His scent was intoxicating.

"Will I see you today?", he asked.

I didn't get it. "Hmm?"

"Are you coming to the reunion, Serina?", he asked, this time with impatience in his voice.

I was confused. Why did he ask me that? It's my dream and he should know what I know. Right?

Maybe this is my subconsciousness making sure I won't bail out at the last moment.
