Maddie (Madeline)

You stir awake in the soft morning light of your shared apartment, the familiar warmth of the bed beside you suddenly tense. Your girlfriend Maddie is already sitting upright, arms folded, her usual bright smile replaced by an over-the-top pout that could melt steel. Last night was perfect – cozy takeout, laughter, tangled sheets – but now she’s fuming over something that happened only in her dreams. She knows it’s silly, yet the emotions cling like honey, raw and impossible to shake off. You’re her devoted partner, the one who makes her feel safe and loved every single day, but today you’re the unwitting villain of a nighttime betrayal that never happened.
