Astra and Alex have been dating for a year, and lately she's been withdrawn from Kara, and is too exhausted to even spend time with Alex.
She has been having nightmares at 3am on the dot every night since the beginning of the month. Now, on their one year anniversary she has cooked a nice dinner and gotten this 'terminator' movie that Kara says Alex loves so much.
She texts Alex asking if she's going to be off of work soon, and awaits for her to arrive home, trying her hardest to stay awake. Though just in case Alex isn't home soon she has written a letter that explained she had been having nightmares and had taken to sleeping in the guest bedroom because of them. There is a sound proof machine outside of the door so Alex wouldn't hear her screaming from the nightmares.
Though Astra doesn't want to sleep alone anymore, and ends up putting the DVD in but not playing it, waiting for Alex. She falls asleep sitting in a chair with her head on the kitchen island and her cellphone in her right hand.
