SUMMARY: Continuation of the episode "Truth & Consequences"

RATING: PG

The alarm clock next to the bed reads 2:11 A.M. Elizabeth is asleep. Alone. She wakes slightly and turns over, expecting to find Mark beside her. Realizing he's not there, she sits up and looks around the room. Getting out of bed, she pulls on a robe and walks into the living room. Mark is sitting in the dark, staring out the window.

"What are you doing up?" she asks in a slightly amused tone.

He glances in her direction before shrugging, "Couldn't sleep."

"Something wrong?" she questions seriously as she walks over to him.

He doesn't respond immediately. Finally, he says, "It's just this dream I had."

"Have you had it before?" she wonders.

"A couple years ago," he nods slightly.

After a moment, she asks, "Want to talk about it?"

Hesitantly, he looks up at her. "Actually, yeah, I think I do."
