Stella Grace smiled awkwardly. She wiped her tears, but her eyes were still wet. She pretended to be calm and said, "Sorry, I was having a nightmare."
"I died in your dream, didn't I?" Jasper Milton said in a low voice.
Stella looked at Jasper in surprise.
"You've been shouting 'Jasper. Don't die'." Jasper explained.
Stella sat up. Thinking of that dream, she felt a little ache in her heart. She lifted the hair on her forehead and squinted at Jasper. "I dreamed that you were smashed to death by a huge rock, and I also dreamed of Eli."
"Dreams are usually the opposite. This proves that I won't die. It's still early. Do you want to sleep for a while more?" Jasper sat up and looked at the time. It was only 5.45 a.m.
Stella shook her head, "I am used to waking up at this time. I don't want to sleep anymore. I'll make breakfast and go for a morning jog."
"That's a good habit. I'll accompany you then." Jasper also got up.
