They are lovely dreams, and once they start, when she feels herself settle back down into her body, they are continuous. This latest involves swimming in the Caribbean Sea, her hair drifting out behind her. She doesn't have to hold her breath or wear special equipment -- it's like being a mermaid without the tail. (Not having to worry about burning makes the experience all the better -- she's always been so pale, it was always a chore to be out in the sun for any reason.)

When she's done, she rises up through the water. She breaks through the surface; the air tastes divine.

In the Milliways infirmary, Satine sighs and shifts in her bed. For the first time in three days, she opens her eyes. Christian isn't there (which doesn't upset her), but someone else is. She rolls her head over the pillow to see who it is.
