Chapter 4: The Watchful Guardian
Beyond the veil of dreams, in the waking world, Christopher stepped outside.
The desert sun had begun its slow ascent, stretching long golden fingers across the sky. The air still held the cool breath of morning, though it wouldn’t last. Heat would come soon enough, pressing down like a silent hand. But for now, the world was still gentle.
Christopher’s gaze swept the yard, searching, as he often did, for his small companion. And there she was—curled up in her favorite spot, nestled in the shade where the air stayed kind. Safe. Content.
In his hands, he carried a fresh bowl of water, glistening with ice cubes that clinked softly against the edges, floating like tiny islands in a sea of cold. He always did this—bringing her cool water, making sure she had something refreshing for the long summer days. He placed the bowl on the patio, where the shade would keep it chilled just a little longer.
Then, he turned back to Daisy.
Her paws twitched. A small kick, then another. Her curled tail gave a tiny wiggle, the telltale sign of a dream unfolding behind her closed eyes.
Christopher smiled to himself. I wonder what in the world she’s dreaming about.
And in that moment, the dream pulled us back in.
