She's so much happier now-- or, at least, she's starting to be. She's starting to be able to smile so much more naturally, to let herself laugh more. It's surely something wonderful to see, from beyond.
But she's also just pregnant enough, now, that strange dreams are starting to be par for course. They're not nightmares, at least, which is a relief.
Tonight, it doesn't seem like something special, at first. Tonight, she slips properly into dreaming and into a plane of existence that at first doesn't seem too interesting.
Except then she notices she's not alone-- and who it is she's not alone with.
No matter how many times they end up encountering in some way or another for the rest of her life, she suspects her voice will never lose the tremble it has now.
