Rain beat down on the roof, and he wondered if maybe that was what he’d heard. There was another sob. Taking a moment to get his bearings he determined the noise had come from Patience’s room. Patience called out to someone. He couldn’t hear the name, but the sob behind it was clear. The gut-wrenching sadness of the sound tore at him. Something was terribly wrong.After sliding on his jeans, he knocked on the door separating their room.She didn’t answer.He heard another soft sob.“Patience?” He opened the door. She was twisted in her sheets. “Hey, are you okay?”“Jeremy… I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Please come home.”Who was Jeremy? A pang of jealousy hit him.He knelt at the bedside and saw she was sound asleep but in the middle of some kind of nightmare. “Patience.” He softly pressed his hand to her cheek.“Hey, wake up,” he said softly. But the tears continued to flow.Each sob constricted his heart. He couldn’t stand to see her this way. “Patience, come on, I need you to wake up.”
