"..."
Mei touched her chest.
Her pajamas were dry and comfortable, not constricting her body like a diving suit.
She froze.
"So it was a dream..."
The brief scream did not attract anyone's attention. Kiana slept like a log, and there was no one else here.

Not a dream?
Mei's slender fingers went limp and released the bathrobe. It fell silently to the floor, just like her sinking mood.
Life had forced her into the role
