"What did you dream?" He asked as he caressed her hands, her face and the curve of her chin.

She stared at him for a moment, drinking in his eyes and the soft smile on his face. She withdrew her hand from his touch. She closed her eyes from his smile.

"I dreamt of my twin."

He said nothing.

"I dreamt of her. I dreamt of a fading summer sky, blurry with white cottons clouds. Sometimes, you could see a piece of the sky and it was blue, endlessly blue. Sometimes, it was soft and muted."

She paused, her eyes fluttered and then closed again.

"I dreamt of trees. Trees dripping with bright red apples. Trees with the sun's gold dancing between its green leaves. Trees that bent and swayed with the wails of the winter wind. I dreamt also of rain. The sky, swollen with huge gray clouds, cried and its tears were round and sweet."

Again, she paused, and a breathless giggle escaped between her pale lips.

"And my twin, my twin dreamt of me."

Her eyes opened, sudden and wild.

"And what did she dream of?"

Her hands were cold as they curled viciously around his wrist.

"She dreamt of these walls. Oh, she dreamt of these white-painted walls, so hard, so cold. She dreamt of these artificial lights that breathe no air and give no warmth."

She pointed at the ceiling, at the light and laughed.

"She dreamt of those spiders, spinning and spinning. She dreamt of them and their silky webs that dangle and twirl. She dreamt of this soft bed and its heavy blankets."

She looked at him, her eyes pale and cold.

"She dreamt of you,"

And laughed once more.
