Bitter Awakening

Noelle's POV

I am dreaming of Alaric; we're on a picnic date, and we can't stop touching each other. I can't stop kissing his cheeks and his jaw; he can't stop kissing my lips. I giggle every second, my heart pounding because of how much I love him.

I keep smiling. I love him. I am in love with him. He is my first real love. I want to love him forever. I don't ever want to wake up from this dream.
