When she'd awake Samuel would be in his room and everything would be as it was before the war. But Samuel was dead. All the tears she shed wouldn't change anything.
The stranger stayed in her dreams. His strong touch wrapped around her, giving her strength and love, helping her get through the days and nights. He offered her hope for a brighter future.
