"Wake up, Emily!" Emily, what is wrong? "Why are you crying?" Jake queried, concerned, while gently shaking Emily, who looked to be experiencing terrible thoughts or dreams.
Emily groggily opened her eyes. Squinting, she spotted Jake's troubled expression and his bewildered gaze at her. "Hmm, what happened?" "Did I have a bad dream?" she said innocently.
She could still vividly recollect her dream. She must have felt terrible about concealing her secret from Jake, especially after their extraordinary lovemaking, as she fell asleep in his arms, exhausted.
Fortunately, she just dreamed of telling him she was dying.
Jake was worried when he noticed her having a bad dream. What would happen if it were her turn? How will he handle this? She could only imagine.
