You see, Eveline is a girl who sees beyond what is there. She is one in whom others find what they are looking for. Eveline is a dreamer in waves.
Eveline walks quietly and with great caution into the blue lit ballroom and her skin shudders and calms all at once. Her eyes roam from side to side and all the tables and chairs and center pieces and lighting arrangements watch her as she moves. Her dress sways like a ripple in gold water and her skin if pinkish with hues of tan and khaki and yellow and orange. Her skin is perfect. There is water outside the windows and in it float IV bags filled with clear liquid and amongst them swim small balls of light that speak to her but she can't understand them. They are too beyond what she needs to know.
Then all at once she hears the voice in the distance that is coming from beyond the velvet curtains of the ballroom and they speak softly and comfort her and then they are gone and she knows. They tell her, "It's OK my baby. You can do it."
Her alarm rings from the other side of the room and she gets up to smash the snooze button. She stumbles drunkenly back to the edge of the bed and rests her face in her hands and begins to weep and say softly, "I know, i know, i know..."
She gets dressed. She drives to the hospital. She checks in. She walks to her mother's room. She speaks quietly and softly and gently and lovingly to her. She calls in the Doctor. She cries her goodbyes.
