‘Ant? What you doing?’ His speech was slurred. His arm reached behind him for the duvet but didn’t find it. ‘Ant?’ He turned over and found her curled up on the floor, eyes staring, hand clutched over her lower face. ‘What’s the matter? Ant? Hello?’ She looked at him, dropped her hand and sat up. ‘I’m sorry. It was a nightmare.’ ‘The same one?’ he asked. ‘I dreamt I was falling.’ He tugged at the duvet. ‘Come on. You’re going to freeze.’ She climbed back into bed. She whispered to him: ‘I was falling from the edge of a cliff. Somehow I stepped off – I didn’t mean to – and then suddenly the air is rushing past my ears. Then it stops, like a freeze frame in a film. I’m suspended in space. I can hear your voice and Bert’s voice. I can see your faces large and close to me, trying to say something. Then it’s like the film starts again at double speed and the fear rises in my throat and it wipes out my vision and my hearing and I’m clutching at things but I just keep on falling.
