    Slowly I woke. Somehow my legs had become tangled in the covers and had left more than a bit of my skin bare to the slightly chilly air of cool Lithmorran Summer morning. Mumbling my complaint I tugged at the wool blankets, trying to roll myself in them, cocoon-like, eager to chase sleep and dreams again.

    It was then that I felt him. That subtle shift in the mattress beneath me indicating that someone had sat on the edge of my bed. He leaned over, and I felt the tips of his fingers brush over my jaw. His first finger tilting my chin upwards and the warm breath from his lips felt against mine as he spoke, “Would you like to dance?”

    I would recognise that smooth Vavardi accent anywhere and my eyes immediately opened, belief and reality suspended for just a single quickening beat of my heart.

    Of course, no one was there.
