Under the sheets while Henry was sleeping he had a dream. It took place at an outdoor cafe restaurant in a strange city he never been to before. Sipping on two glasses of wine with a stranger in between eating their lunch together. Isabel kissed him goodbye as a second meeting was set up for the following weekend. It was then that he woke up and wished this realistic dream continued. Her name and her face remained in his memory for a long time to come. A book signing event was planned by his publisher where sales were tremendously high. An all expense paid trip to the city of Paris where he had never been before. The vacation would last for two weeks and the book signing was a complete success. He roamed the streets of Paris that July afternoon and noticed an outdoor cafe restaurant. It looked so familiar to him, like he had been there before. Henry sat at a table and ordered lunch with some wine. The lady at a table next to Henry waved to him and invited him to join her. The face was so familiar but he couldn't place from where. When she told him her name was Isabel it all came back to from a dream so many years ago from under the sheets. She told him of her dream and now it all made sense to the both of them. A second meeting was set up as he still had a few days left on his vacation. Isabel flew to New York where he lived about six months after they met at that outdoor cafe restaurant. It was for a visit but turned out to be something more than that. A permanent move had happened as he asked her to marry him. And so the unexpected happens from dreams that are forgotten except until they repeat itself in real life. Love happens sometimes now and then under the sheets...
