She feels a sad emptiness between them... an almost tangible nothingness that leaves her with an ache in her chest.
A sigh escapes from her lips, and she draws into herself, smothering the emptiness with a plush down pillow. Somewhere, deep inside, she hopes desperately that it's cries will be quelled. But her attempts are fruitless.
The emptiness, which has grown stronger day by day, is focused... and she knows that that lonely space can only be filled by one person, and that person is too far away.
She dreams of feeling their arms around her again, of feeling loved and protected even for the most fleeting of moments, and remembers how something as simple as a hug made her feel like the happiest person in the world.
And she sighs again, but this time with a smile, as the pillows become clouds and she drifts off to sleep.
