The first time I saw her in that dream— I froze.

I didn't move. I couldn't. My breath caught in my throat, and my heart… it just stopped.

She looked like something pulled from the edge of a forgotten world—too distant, too beautiful, too unreal.

How long did I stand there like that? An hour? Two? Maybe… the whole night?

All I remember is staring. Unblinking. Dazed. Like some fool caught in the pull of something sacred.

And for the first time… I didn't wake up gasping. There was no tightness in my chest. No sweat. No frantic heartbeats.

Just… silence. Stillness.

A strange kind of peace I hadn't felt in years.

Even though I never saw her face…

Even though she never looked back at me…

That dream left me completely undone.
