Chapter 322
He glanced at his watch; it was almost midnight. Amara was probably already asleep. Just as he was about to
leave, a sudden noise from inside the room stopped Finnian in his tracks. It sounded like a scream. He turned
back and
pushed the door open.
"Amara, what's wrong?"
As Finnian entered, he could see Amara lying on the bed in the dimly-lit room, thanks to the sliver of moonlight
filtering through the curtains. Her eyes were tightly shut, her forehead drenched in cold sweat, and her hands
were flailing in the air as she cried out, "Help me!"
Rushing to her side, Finnian lifted Amara into his arms and gently patted her back. "Amara, wake up."
It was that nightmare again.
In her dream, she was strolling through a garden, admiring the scenery. Suddenly, she lost her footing and fell
into a pitch-black hole. The ground was all dirt, sticky under her palms. She was terrified and stood up, shouting
for help. But above her, there was only a palm-sized patch of light, shrinking rapidly. Tears of fear streamed down

She jolted awake, her eyes wide open, staring at the dark ceiling, gasping for air.
The moment she awoke, she realized it had been another nightmare. Yet the vividness of it left her feeling
shaken.
Turning her head, she saw Finnian. "Mr. Everly, what are you doing here?"
The warmth and firmness of his embrace brought her a sense of safety. Each of her nightmares was rooted in
real events, and every time, Finnjan had been there to save her The moment she realized she was in his arms,
she felt an overwhelming sense of security and instinctively clutched at his shirt. s
Realizing the impropriety of her action, she quickly released her grip.
Finnian glanced at the hand that had just clutched his shirt and said, "I heard you screaming just now. Le rushed
into your room and saw you were having a nightmare. | cover to wake you up. Don't worry about it." s
Amara shook her head. "Why would | mind?"
Thank goodness Finnian woke her up; otherwise, who knows how many times that nightmare would have
repeated. She was truly frightened by it.
She sat up, and Finnian helped her settle back onto the bed, though he still kept his arms around her.
Amara shifted slightly, but Finnian
held her tighter. "D Fore jake
