Absolutely. Here’s a shortened version<\/strong> of your story that keeps the emotion and meaning intact<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\n

I dreamt in grey that night\u2014fog thick, the air still. I walked through a cemetery I didn\u2019t know, but somehow my feet did. Then I saw him\u2014Wyatt. My husband. Silent, by a grave I couldn\u2019t read. He lifted a hand, slow and deliberate.<\/p>\n

“Wyatt?” I called.<\/p>\n

But before he could speak, the ringing started.<\/p>\n

I jolted awake. Wyatt wasn\u2019t in bed. The sheets were still cold. A call from an unknown number.<\/p>\n

\u201cMa\u2019am,\u201d said a woman\u2019s cold, clipped voice. \u201cI\u2019m sorry to inform you\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

She hung up before finishing. I shook, unsure if I was still dreaming. Got up for water.<\/p>\n

Then I saw him. Floating in the pool.<\/p>\n

I screamed.<\/p>\n

Everything blurred. I dragged his body out, skin ice cold, lips blue. I called 911 and started compressions. Desperate. Begging. Until\u2014<\/p>\n

A gasp.<\/p>\n

He coughed, water pouring from his mouth. The sirens arrived. Wyatt was alive.<\/p>\n

At the hospital, I sat shivering in a waiting room. A doctor said, \u201cYou saved him. But he has a serious heart condition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Relief battled shock. Then I heard a voice. Familiar. The same voice from the call.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou called me earlier,\u201d I said to the nurse.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t make any calls,\u201d she replied, confused. \u201cI\u2019ve been here all night.\u201d<\/p>\n

What had warned me? Pulled me from that dream?<\/p>\n

Later, a therapist listened. I told her everything. She didn\u2019t question it.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes,\u201d she said, \u201clove knows before you do.\u201d<\/p>\n

When I saw Wyatt again, he opened his eyes. “I remember,” he said. “It felt like I was being pulled away. Then I saw you\u2026 crying. I couldn’t leave you.”<\/p>\n

I sobbed. I held his hand tighter.<\/p>\n

Later, alone, I broke. Let every tear come. I remembered something he once said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I die first, you better not meet anyone else. I\u2019ll haunt you. You\u2019d have to save me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maybe\u2026 that\u2019s what happened.<\/p>\n

Maybe love is loud enough to scream across worlds.<\/p>\n

Now, Wyatt sleeps beside me. Alive. Breathing. And I believe\u2014something saved us.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t call it anything else.<\/p>\n
