Looking out through the window, the night outside was pitch black, but the full moon shone brightly, casting a gentle glow on everything within its reach, making everything appear bathed in an ethereal radiance. The stars twinkled brightly overhead, looking as if they were winking down at them playfully.
Asher enjoyed this tranquil scenery for quite some time. Soon, that tranquility was broken when he suddenly heard Maria's scream.
"Ahhh... Please... Don't..." Maria cried out loudly.
Asher immediately held her and began tapping her shoulders, hoping to wake her up from her nightmare.
"Maria! Wake up. It's a dream. Wake up!"
Her screams abruptly stopped as her eyes opened wide, revealing a horrified look on her face.
Seeing her terrified appearance, Asher felt sorry for her, knowing fully well what she must be going through right now after experiencing such trauma and suffering.
"Sob... It was so scary!"
