Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn't...

This story sounds like pure relaxation - or: "...Comfortably, we lie down on our blanket and doze in the warm, pleasant sun. The sunrays warm us up. We inhale the smell of the green grass and listen to the birds' twittering. You gently ruffle the soft fur of the bunnies. They closely huddle up to you..."

You will easily fall asleep during the dream journey "Cuddle Time" and will happily slide into your dreamland at the end.
