When Alice could finally focus without feeling as though
she’d pass out, her gaze moved over her surroundings. It was like no place she
remembered ever seeing before. The sky was a brilliant turquoise, the clouds a
vivid blue on the tops, shading down into a deep green on the bottoms. The
trees around her were unusual, varieties she wasn’t familiar with—and the one
she’d been sleeping under had feathery blue leaves.
Dreaming. I’m dreaming.
Flowers in her dream grew in every color of the rainbow.
Some were shaped like stars or bells, and others with heart-shaped petals. The
air smelled unbelievably clean and fresh, so much so that the flowers’ perfume
and the rich forest smells almost overwhelmed her.
It was such a surreal dream. It was as if she’d tumbled down
a rabbit hole and landed in Wonderland.
Oh, sure, Alice. And then next thing you know the Cheshire
Cat will be hunting you down. You’re dreaming. Just relax and enjoy it.
A woman’s moan floated along the breeze and Alice stilled.
Okaaaay… The last time she’d heard a sound like that she’d
found the beautiful Min with her ex-fiancé.
The deep rumble of a man’s voice came next. “Draw,” he said,
and Alice’s heart began to pound. As though in a trance, she moved toward the
sounds. They came from the other side of the massive tree she’d woken beneath.
Alice pressed close to the glossy trunk and peered around
it. Before a gurgling fountain were three incredibly gorgeous men and a
beautiful woman.
