The Sea Between

She had dreamed she was sleeping. . . not in her bed but on a stormy sea, her arms wound tightly around her naked body, her hair flying wildly in the wind, waiting for Richard to rescue her. But no ship came, and she woke to find the salty wetness on her cheeks was not sea water, but tears.
