“Uber-Women?"
“Yeah. Like Super Women, right?"
“Nice save. What do you mean?"
“Just that I know you gals like things a little bit romantic." He winked at her and reached under the bed. He came back up with a box of truffles.
“Oh my god." Susan whispered.
“You like."
“I'm marrying you because I love you. Now I'm gonna make love to you because I want you. Badly. A marriage proposal with chocolate? You thought of everything." She kissed him with heat.
“I love it when you talk dirty." Derrick said with a grin.

In her bedroom, Sophie was asleep. She twisted back and forth on her mattress, her body unable to find a restful position. Her lips are drawn back, frowning. She cries out. "No! Please…"

The night was still young outside, but dark enough to cause shadows through out the house. Tonight, the shadows were darkest in Sophie's room. The wind whispered softly as if it were telling secrets.

“I won't hurt you, Sophie." The man says.
“What do you want from me?" Sophie asked. She was astounded to find herself here, in this white place, amongst all this hot, blinding stone.
“You must return, Sophie. You are needed here."
Sophie looked down at her feet. They were bare. The stone was hard underneath them. "What do you want with me?"
“You are needed here." The man said. He smiled. "You are needed in Dragon's Cove…"
FLASH! Sophie awoke in her bedroom.
The trees were tapping against the windowpane and their shadows danced on the floor. She got out of the large four poster bed and went to the windows, lay her head against the glass. They felt cool against her head.
She had been dreaming again.
Ever since her return to Eagle Valley , she had been dreaming. It had taken her three months since her return to Eagle Valley and she had just found them; it had taken her that long. She felt tired and hallowed out, as if she no longer had any heat inside her. Strangely, the cold of the windows was a comfort.
The last thing she remembered was that conversation between Susan and Cleo and the next morning, she had flown to New York to finish up a three week stint as Anna, a woman claiming be Sammie's twin on DAYS OF OUR LIVES. It had been a lovely job and she had bonded with Deidre Hall and Ali Sweeney. It had been every actresses dream job.
She remembered the day that everything changed for her, that she suddenly felt an intense need for something. And suddenly, she remembered Susan and Derrick. And Miriam. It all came rushing back
