Honeysuckle grew all around me as I walked through a garden. Birds chirped as they flew through the clear, blue sky. Somewhere not too far away, the sound of waves lapping at a shoreline could be heard.
A butterfly flew by my face, tickling my nose with its wings. I rubbed my nose with the back of my hand, laughing. Then the sound of someone’s quiet snores had me looking around to see where the sound came from.
A sudden stab of pain in my stomach made my curl in on myself, clutching at the spot where someone had hit me with their elbow. My eyes opened, and all I saw was blonde hair. Moving my head back to take stock of my surroundings, I found Nova in my bed. Her elbow, nestled uncomfortably in my stomach, told me she’d woke me up with the jab.
