smoke and ashes

I dreamt I was with my high school ex JK. He was back to his thin self. I was trying to snuggle like we used to, but he wanted to be side to side. Then we both walked over to a fireplace that needed to be fixed. The bricks were falling off, but most of it was still good and intact. I was thinking how are we going to find old bricks that match perfectly?  Or maybe a hearth could be built over the whole thing?  It would look nicer? or would it? I liked old brick too, it felt warmer.  He was sitting in the fireplace in the ashes looking at the fire while I was saying my thoughts out loud. The smoke was coming in the house. I thought the flue was open but then I pulled it again and more smoke came in. I wasn't sure.
