A long while later, after the kid is off to daycare, Mairi is still tired from her restless night of dreams, so she tries to nap for just an hour or so...
Her dreams of late have left her shaken and nervous, as if she is standing on the edge of a precipice that has no bottom that she can see. In the distance she hears the phone ring, but decides not to get up and answer the thing, "rings off the wall anyway", she thinks to herself. "I just need an hour or so," "blue eyes, sparkle like the sun shining off the clear water, like stars....black hair the likes of which reminds me of a raven's wing, a heavenly body like that of the warriors of old, tanned smooth skin like I would like to have, a voice that sends chills down my spine," the air conditioner was too cold so she sat up looking for the thin sheet she always kept on the end of the bed for such occasions as this one, when she tries to nap but gets a little chilled. What she sees at the foot of her bed in place of the sheet is the man of her dreams, "Hello, Mairi. I've been waiting for you."
Breathy voice says, "Lucian" he hand goes to her chest in her surprise, "how did you get in here?"
His baritone sang to her, "you wished me to be here so here I am, my sweet."
That smile of his melted her bones, so she Had to lay back down again. All she could do was stare at him, "are you real or am I dreaming again?"
"I am real enough, Mairi, just not in the way you would think."
"How do you mean? I see you here, with me, now; not in some garden I thoought up."
She gasped, for at that instant he waved his hand and they were both standing in the same garden they were in before. "How did you do that?"
"Magic" his smile was devastating to her senses, so much so that she almost cried from the overwhelming feeling of his presence. "Why do I keep getting dizzy and lightheadded whenever I am with you?"
"Because we're inbetween the Realms"
With that, she did faint. Fortunately for her, he was quick enough to catch her before her head hit the cobblestone walkway they were standing on....

As Mairi lay with her eyes closed, she felt His hands on her face, gently smoothing droplets of cold water on her skin. She peeked through her lashes and saw nothing but brown in front of her. She opened her eyes a little more and saw the chest of an animal standing directly over her; raising her eyes a bit more revealed a mouth baring its teeth almost in her face. Sharp, long teeth. Her reaction.........."Aaahhhhhhhhh!"
They say every action has an equal reaction. Lucian's was that of a startled animal, for he jumped up so fast and looked around for the source that made his Mairi scream loud and shrill. Not seeing anything, he asked, "What is wrong, love?"
Her second reaction was to roll over very quickly and kick out at the thing baring its teeth at her.
Before her foot actually touched the thing, Lucian's hand grabbed it and gently deterred her kick in another direction. "Hold on there, sweets. Don't kick my friend. Meela is very concerned for you. She saw you fall and cried out."
"What is a Meela?"
"She is a Me and a La. Sort of like your animal called a.......dog?....or a ....wolf.....but bigger. Much bigger, actually."
"You're joking, right? A Me and a La?"
At that, Lucian had the good grace to blush. "I was.....jok..ing?....play..ing?" He grinned so sweet that she had to forgive him instantly.
He held out his strong hand to her and helped her to her feet. She held a cautious eye on Meela, not sure of its intent...."Will it hurt me? Does she bite?"
"No, and only those that are a threat to you. She is my friend. As a pup she found me and has been with me since then. She chose the name Meela."
"How do you know she chose the name herself? Didn't you name her?"
He shook his brown hair and put his face to the wind. "No. We talk. Here". He pointed to his head.
"Impossible......tha......"
Interrupting her denial before she could voice it, he replied, "NOt impossible.... here. Even you can talk to her and she to you....she will not hurt you, for she knows you as I do.......We see through each others eyes....know one anothers thinks...thoughts?...but only here...in this realm...not in yours."
"What is this place called?" She asked in an almost reluctant tone.
He held his hands out to indicate the garden and surrounding area, "this is called......Home." He grinned as he said it.
By this time, Meela had nudged her hand with its snout/nose and to Mairi's delight, found the fur on Meela to be quite soft to the touch. With each stroke of her hand on the "animal", Mairi snift the air and found a pleasurable scent. "What is that smell?"
Lucian smelled the air, "Ahhh. That, my love, is Meela. She is pleased that you touch her instead of try to kick her."
"You mean she gives off a scent according to her moods?" Incredible..impossible..."no animal that I know of gives off a scent like you claim she does. Except maybe a skunk when one tics it off. "
"You can smell Meela, now." He had a thought, and just as Mairi noticed the gleam mischief in his eyes, Lucian swatted Meela on the hind-end. Instantly, Mairi started gagging. "oh my gosh. What......"
Lucian was holding his stomach, laughing so hard and pointing at Mairi, he barely managed to get out, "Is that like your skunk? Believe me now, love?"
