Sonya had an amazing, kind, and funny boyfriend in Joey. He also knew how lucky he was to have such a beautiful and intelligent partner. They had been together for three years and living in the same apartment for one. During all that time, they had made all of their friends jealous with how perfect their relationship seemed to be.
And Sonya really would have described their relationship as perfect… until half a year ago. It was a lazy Saturday morning and both of them were sleeping in. Sonya was having a dream where a butterfly flew around her and landed on her outstretched hand. An uncomfortable pinch followed. She examined the butterfly and slowly realized she was dreaming as the facts weren’t adding up. She started to wake up to look at her hand, which laid on the pillow next to her head.
Sonya turned and saw her boyfriend biting the meat of her palm. At that moment, the pinch became pain. She screamed, more out of surprise, but Joey jerked backwards in response, his teeth ripping up her flesh as they fled. Sonya shot up and stared at her bleeding hand in shock.
