She has nightmares. Always had. He never asked what they are about, it’s easy enough to tell by the sounds. First she was being chased, which always made him wonder - he didn’t know about the creatures back then. When Stephen died his name became a soundtrack playing on loop during the nights. Those dreams never disappeared but are rivalled now by another kind from which she always wakes up sweaty and screaming.
He never asks, though. She wouldn’t tell anyway.
She lies about her past and keeps the future locked away, only sharing with him a present she can’t enjoy.
