"Ruth... Ruth..."
His deep voice called her to wake her up from her slumber. But the warm bed felt too good to leave just yet. She could spend eternity like this. Ruth stirred in sleep, pulling the large pillow close to her chest. Rubbing her cheek against that soft touch, she found her lips stretching in a smile.
God! This was heaven!
She thought she heard some sound... like an audible gulp?!
But she was too drowsy to think about it. She again found herself slipping into the darkness when she heard his voice again.
"Ruth wake up please!"
Why did he sound... urgent and uncomfortable? And where was he?
Was he in any danger or was she only dreaming about him and he was already gone away from her?
Her eyes shot open as she frantically blinked them to clear her vision to find herself in her bed. Suddenly the bed she found softer than anything else, felt hard against her body.
