It was a big surprise that Ashley was still clingy even in her sleep.
'She must have been truly scared out of her mind in that damned house, ' Andrew thought.
With this thought, he gently patted Ashley on the back to help her relax and sleep well.
"Aaaargh!"
Just as Andrew was about to fall asleep, Ashley suddenly shrieked.
At the same, she suddenly sat up with her hands over her face.
Andrew was a light sleeper, so Ashley's sudden movement on the bed jolted him awake.
"What is it? Ash? Are you okay?" Andrew looked at Ashley with concern.
Ashley opened her eyes and saw nothing but darkness. She felt like the dream was real.
Fear overwhelmed her like a dark sea swallowing her whole.
It wasn't until she heard Andrew's voice then she was a little relieved.
At this time Andrew was like a hero who had saved her.
Immediately, she threw herself into his arms and held on to him like she had never held on to anyone before.
She buried her head in Andrew's chest and whispered with shaky lips, "I had a nightmare just now."
"It's all right. It's just a dream. I'm with you. It's all right."
Andrew gently patted Ashley's back to comfort her.
"Please turn on the light,"
Ashley begged.
It was pitch dark in their bedroom, which made Ashley very uncomfortable.
Andrew immediately turned on the lamp on the nightstand.
"It's okay now."
Ashley finally dared to raise her head and looked at Andrew.
