Laughter in the ShadowsRcw99
I woke up.
I laid there, in bed, my wife sleeping peacefully beside me, for several minutes without moving.
I wasn’t quite sure what had woken me.
With caution, I sat up, trying not to disturb my wife, and stared around our dark, little bedroom as best I could.
Moonlight shone through the curtains, illuminating only the wall across from me.
The door was still closed. Nothing seemed disturbed. I didn’t hear any strange sounds. Nothing was wrong.
Silence.
My body felt tense, though. As if I had been having a bad dream.
I blinked and laid back down, and, after a while of listening to my wife’s gentle breathing, I fell back asleep.
