That night, her dreams reflected her daytime thoughts. On the fourth night of Bennett's trip, she dreamt of him, and she kept staring at him in her dream.

In her dream, Bennett regarded her with a soft smile, asking if she missed him. She denied it, but he didn't believe her, his eyebrows arching in doubt as he asked, "Really?" Then, in an unexpected twist, she found herself kissing Bennett.

Waking with a start, Claudia licked her lips involuntarily.

The dryness reminded her that it was merely a dream.

Sitting up and blushing at the memory, she wondered if she was indeed getting bolder just like Aurora.
