As Gabe realized that the night he believed to have had peaceful sleep, had not been so peaceful after all, he went still. Not having memory of something like this was dangerous... And yet, as he frowned, he realized that he did have a faint memory of someone near him, comforting him... He'd just dismissed it as his own fantastical imagination. 

But what if he had done something that night to Autumn? No.. he needed to warn her that she should keep away from him, especially when he was in the grip on a nightmare. He wouldn't have any control over himself otherwise...

Sitting close to him, Autumn could feel the stillness inside of him and realized that she'd probably made him uncomfortable after mentioning that night. She'd wondered if he remembered but now she knew... She looked at his clenched fingers on the edge of the swing and gently placed her hand over his, wanting to comfort him.
