I released a soft sigh in reliefwhen I watch her sleep peacefully. these nightmares have been occurring since we lost her dad. Although Bella doesn't talk about what she sees in her dream, but I knew it always involves her father. I sat on the bed and watch her sleep. She was just the exact copy of her dad.
