THE WAKING DREAM — Her Quick Card
(playing: the woman who finally says it)

THE RULE: Nothing advances until you say it. Your voice sets every step of the pace.

QUICK BEATS
1. Call your partner to you first — "Come here" or your own version.
2. Close the last distance yourself, or ask plainly for the kiss.
3. Reach for a button, a hem, a strap — or say "take this off me."
4. Say the specific thing you want next, out loud. Don't leave it to guessing.
5. When you're ready to be held from behind, say so, or turn yourself into position and guide your partner in. Set the pace with your own body if you want to.
6. When the room feels different — cooler, water somewhere nearby, the light shifting — let yourself notice it calmly, even happily. Nothing to fear here.

ANCHOR LINE (yours):
"Come in. All the way. I mean it."

CLOSING LINE (yours):
"You're not going to disappear when I wake up."
