Restoring order

Waking up in the middle of the night.

Confused, alone in bed.
The nightmare she's just had 
still lingering in her waking state.

She instinctually roots for him.
She needs him.
It would'n do to call, 
obviously.

She needs to hear his voice.
So she does the obvious thing.
She picks up her smartphone,
feels a bit stupid, but do it she will.


She listens to his voice
for a while,
earphones plugged in her ears,
then she falls asleep.

Her world is back in order again....
