Numb3rs (Amita) [Week 1, Prompt 1]
Title: Dream of Me
Author: andwhenwespeak
Rating: PG
Word Count: 154
Summary: She's supposed to be happy.
Amita can't sleep, just lately. She's dreaming, restless strange dreams that snap her awake, heart racing, at three in the morning.
The days find her listless, irritable, snapping at Charlie for the smallest, most trivial things.
She should be happy. Her career is on track, her and Charlie are finally, actually, truly a couple; her life is progressing exactly how she'd planned.
And yet it all feels so empty, so lonely. Charlie loves her, she knows, and she loves him, she does, but something is missing, something she can't name. She can feel it, at night, something (or someone) just of reach that's calling her, impatient. It won't wait forever, she knows.
"Tell me," she says in her dreams. "Tell me what to do."
"Catch me," says a woman's voice. "You just have to find me. Find me, Amita."
She wakes, tangled up in sweat-soaked sheets. This isn't how things are supposed to be.
