Last Night

Last night I was asleep when I heard my name called from just above my right ear. "Tom", crystal clear, and clearly Alison's voice. "Tom" in her voice as if to wake me and ask me something. I had the initial instinct to say, "Yeah babe, whaddy'a need?" I am 75% sure I said it out loud. Loud enough to wake me up, realize what I heard, and be startled.

But just after I conquered that emotion, I wanted to be comforted by her voice some more. I promised I would lay back down and 'act cool.'

I am surprised that I was able to return to sleep. Sleeping is one of my greatest talents though.

Tonight I shall not be startled...
