Although Arwen had realized that she had woken up from a nightmare, she was still in a daze, trying to register all that she saw and all that she felt.
The feeling was surreal …
She couldn't differentiate between the reality and the dream. It all felt happening for real.
Her senses only felt jolting awake when she heard Gianna asking from the side.
"Wenna, did you see my uncle leaving you in your nightmare?" Her voice was still laced with worry.
Arwen glanced up at her, a bit confused.
When Gianna caught the puzzlement on her face, she quickly explained, "When you woke up, you screamed: 'Aiden, don't go! Don't leave me!' So, was it him you saw in your nightmare?" she asked.
Arwen's confusion deepened —not because she didn't understand what Gianna was talking about. She understood what she meant … but she didn't understand what she called out Aiden's name when she clearly hadn't seen him in his dream.
