I opened my eyes in a familiar bedroom. It only took me a few seconds to realize it was Stone’s master bedroom in his massive mansion.
“What the….”
I sat up and looked around. The room looked almost exactly like it had the night before, but there were a few differences, like the fact that I was in pajamas and there was a second dresser full of my clothes. I could see a familiar nightgown hanging over the corner of the drawer.
“Hey, Babe, when you’re up, come on down. I want to show you something I’ve been working on,” Stone’s voice came from downstairs.
I cringed. Babe? He called me Babe?
This had to be a new time loop. Too many things were different. That meant… Stone and I were together in this time loop.
Dammit. I should have known he’d know how to use the orb to his advantage. I was foolish to think I could steal it and just slip away.
