Hannah could feel that he was still trembling slightly when he reached out to brush the hair away from her face. "It was more than a dream," she insisted. No regular nightmare would upset a person as much as whatever Ernie had seen in his sleep. "You used the something we ate excuse last night and you're always stressed from work." She crossed her arms and stared at him. Why wouldn't he trust her? "You are not alright," she told him point blank as she climbed out of the bed.
"I'm going to get some tea. Do you want some?" She headed out of the bedroom without another word. Her heart breaking and she didn't think she could handle being lied to anymore at the moment. She knew Ernie thought he was protecting her from things when in reality it hurt her to know he wouldn't share everything with her. Not that she thought he should, but this, whatever it was, was something important.
