Night time fell on Marv's healing bed, she was snuggled up to Veda's skin, sound asleep. Their limbs were tangled in the white sheets, and their breath syncopated in the dark space. Warmth lingered between Veda and Marv, even if Veda's skin was so cold. Veda began to move and whimpered in her sleep. She grabbed onto Marv's waist, pulling her closer and burying her head into Marv's hair as tears fell on her curls.
Veda gasped awake, sitting up in the bed. "please, just take the money. I already did it," she started heaving and crying softly. "I already did it, I already did it"
Marv sat up. The sight of Veda in distress made Marv grab her face. "Veda, wake up, it's a dream, it's ok" she began to rub Veda's back.
"I already did it" Veda whimpered again, her hair was wet with sweat and her body was shaking.
