@quiethaunts​ sent ☮ = waking them up after a nightmare . (( theo @ dani

It’s the same nightmare over and over. The faceless woman in white. She comes for her even when Dani is awake. She’s done well hiding the nightmares from Theo thus far but this time, she’s whimpering and tossing and turning, muttering ‘no’ over and over. There’s no hiding it from Theo.

The other woman wakes her up and it startles her, makes her shoot up to a sitting position like a bullet, gasping for air like she’d been drowning, and in her nightmare - she had. The faceless woman had dragged her under water and somehow, she still feels like she’s drowning.

     Dani shivered as she made her way down yet another dark street she was unfamiliar with, her heart pounding in her chest, she wasn’t quite sure what her plan had been when she had hitchhiked across the damn country but she knew it had been about wanting to create as much distance from home as she could. Here she could get lost in the crowd and keep her head down, plus it was fricking New York, maybe she’d be able to make something of herself. It was only her second night in the city and she definitely didn’t want to stay where she had stayed the night before so she had thought it best to try to power through the night and find somewhere to sleep during the day.

she quirked a brow upward as she settled in for the hopefully quick, ride. “i’ll pay you fifty bucks to be one of those girls so that i don’t have to.” she mutters, loud enough for him to hear but...her tone didn’t really convey that she meant it. ‘meaning it’ came more as an after thought, one that had her tilting her head thoughtfully. “or a hundred.” she tried harder to sound like she meant it...but she had to admit that she didn’t really pull it off. sari sighed and rested her head back into the seat, allowing her eyes to close for a moment before quickly realizing that wasn’t a safe thing to do while taking an uber. her studious eyes opened again and they watched the road and her surroundings more vigilantly.

Smile filled with amusement, Alex's eyes flicked up to his rearview mirror to look back at her for a flash of a moment, his eyes fell back on the road. If he was being honest, he'd have probably done it if she'd been serious, especially with how much she had jokingly offered, though Uber probably wouldn't like it if they found out. "Is there anything you'd like me to put on?" his chin gestured to the center console, some top forty hit station on but muted, it was really only to be polite, they weren't at all too far from the target, they probably wouldn't even make it through two songs.

she just wanted to go back to the time before she’d made dani so uncomfortable; she could say she was sorry over and over again but...had she even done that in the right way? and would doing so now just shine a blinding light on something they wanted to just let go? would it make it even more uncomfortable. in the moment she really just hoped physically moving forward would allow them to emotionally and mentally, or whatever, move forward. as she got out of the van the cold damp air cleared her head, and when she stretched her body a bit...she was grateful to find that she hadn’t slept as poorly as she had feared. what little bit of soreness she’d acquired from sleeping in the passenger seat of the van had been chased away by the few hours she’d gotten stretched out on the warm rug on the floor nearer to the space heater. she felt fairly good. her hands jammed down into her pockets and she set her eyes on the nearest street corner. cars passed there, the streets sloppy from rain, a few people walking down the sidewalk in light jackets. she got her bearings fairly quickly as she approached; there were a few cafes on this street, some thrift shops, a few fancier boutiques further down; they’d be able to find a place to eat, especially at this hour. nothing looked busy. she scuffed her boots coming to a stop and turned back towards the van, seeing dani emerging...sari quickened her pace. “i don’t know about you...but i could go for some kind of breakfast slop of hashbrowns and eggs...” she eyed dani lightly as she reached her. “anything sound good?”

Hands buried in her pockets in an attempt to warm her chilled fingertips, Dani was usually a huge fan of mornings like this but today all she wanted was some goddamn sunglasses and a handful of Excedrin "I know it's not breakfast but I'm totally craving a sloppy joe, and like elementary school mashed potatoes." Sari's use of the word sloppy to describe the breakfast she wanted having sparked the thought in her mind, the idea of soft bread and warm ooey gooey sauced burger meat sounded like heaven coating her raw and sore throat, paired with some hot sauce it might even help the sinuses she could feel beginning to ache and stuff her nose.
