She can't recall how or why Evan behaved badly toward her, but all of a sudden she remembers how he treated her. She can't recall anything, and everything is so hazy that it feels like a dream.

She can no longer tell what is real and what is a dream; her intellect tells her that everything is genuine and will occur someday, while her heart assures her that everything is OK and that it's all just a bad dream.

He pulled her close and caressing her hair while she places her head on his chest. They stayed like that for a moment, and then Evan pulled away.
