I stirred from my slumber, my senses slowly awakening to the light taps that roused me from my peaceful rest. Blinking my eyes open, I found myself still nestled on Holly's comforting lap.
“Elisa, wake up.”
A voice called out, grabbing my attention. It was Reuben, and my family and friends were with him. I sat up, rubbing my eyes, and took in the presence of my loved ones surrounding me.
“We didn't want to disturb your sleep when we arrived.”
My mom explained with her hand extended towards me. I grasped it, allowing her to help me rise to my feet.
“Thanks for that.”
I expressed my gratitude for their consideration of my need for rest. Then Reuben stepped forward.
“Yazmin has successfully disrupted the loop enough to keep Eliora occupied. Now it's time to make our move.”
“Alright, I need you all to retrieve my physical body. When I wake up, we need to get me out of there as soon as possible.”
