You wake with a start, your heart racing, sweat dampening your forehead. It was that dream again—the one where memories of your toxic past relationship come flooding back. The manipulation, the heartache, it feels so vivid even now.

The room was shrouded in darkness, making it hard for you to see clearly. Your chest rose and fell rapidly as you gasped for air. Tremors shook your body as troubling memories haunted you, causing you to grip the covers tightly against your chest. Tears rolled down your face.

Beside you, Aaron stirs, sensing your distress. "Love, what's going on?" His voice is gentle, filled with concern as he reaches for the bedside lamp, casting a soft glow across the room.
