Chapter 30 The Email

• Natalia saw herself dressed in a long black sequined dress, and then suddenly, she was walking through a room with many people. She didn't remember how she got there, and there seemed to be a fog in the air. She could see everyone but couldn't hear anything. The next thing she knew, she saw Hayden standing near the bar. She tried to get to him, but something was holding her back. When she turned around, Cliff was holding her wrist, and they weren't with everyone else; they were in an office. He was pulling her to a couch while undoing his pants.
• "Natalia, Natalia, wake up, sweetheart." Hayden desperately tried to wake her. She had suddenly started yelling no over and over while swinging her arm. He could tell she was still sleeping and assumed she was having a nightmare. He saw eyes open, and they looked wild. He rubbed her cheek with his hand so she would focus on him.
• "Are you alright?" He asked softly. Natalia looked around and realized she had been dreaming. She relaxed, looking into Hayden's eyes.
