Chad’s words were flowing through my head as I came awake.
We’re all basically the same. We smile when we’re happy, cry when we’re sad, eat when we’re hungry, sleep when we’re tired.
Then I pictured Colton weaving his fingers through mine and examining the contrast we made together, like piano keys.
And then the strange dream was gone. I was suddenly awake, afraid and frozen before I realized I wasn’t in my concrete cave anymore. And I wasn’t even cold. I was in a bed with lights and warmth and soft blankets and pillows.
