It’s finally over. The coronavirus has retreated. Your favourite Pub & Grill has reopened. You meet up with your friends for the first time in months. You will be having the signature burger. Your eyes scan the floor. Your usual waiter is not there. The one taking your order informs you that the waiter had to move back to her hometown after the first 3 months of lockdown.
You are a bit sad, distracted; she was a really good waiter. She knew your order by heart so you never had to even say it. So you order quickly, and try to get into the conversation again. Soon, you are laughing. Having a good time. The food arrives. You can’t wait to dig in! It’s delicious!
A few minutes in, your tongue feels a bit funny. You ask if anyone had tasted anything weird in their food. No.
Then it happens.
Your throat starts to close up.
PEANUT OIL! YOU FORGOT TO TELL THE WAITER ABOUT THE PEANUT ALLERGY! The other waiter always knew! You have ordered this meal for so long, you even forgot that they use peanut oil. She knew about your allergy and always asked them to use an alternative. For some reason, your husband and friends are just standing there. Emotionless. They probably know what is going on, they know about your allergy, right? Your husband, he should definitely know! Why is he just standing there?
This is it. Your epi-pen is in the car. Your eyes are swelling shut, man! You can barely feel your face!
Suddenly, you sit up straight, with beads of sweat running down your face and neck.
It was a dream
You breathe in deeper than you have ever before! Your hubby is fast asleep next to you. Peaceful, with a small smile on his face. Probably dreaming about that cold one he will be having at your favourite Pub & Grill once this COVID-19 business is over with. As if he did not just watch you die in your dreams! Hmph! He will hear about it tomorrow!
Alright. That’s it. You have had this same dream for months now. Time to do something about it – because you definitely won’t be sleeping again tonight.

Hubby has not moved an inch. Still sleeping peacefully. All while you were SAVING THE FAMILY. All in a night’s work. Psh!
He will hear about his dream betrayal at the Pub & Grill, tomorrow. Yes, and he will promise to never do that, and, to always wear his I.C.E. bracelet. He should be glad you didn’t order him a pink one. And he dare not say anything about you shopping online in the middle of the night.
