Miles was really starting to doubt reality.

Miles snapped back to his senses. “Oh! Got it, coming”

Trevor also stood up.

Downstairs, Jordyn was happily sitting on the sofa, leaning against Celeste and chatting with her. Celeste just sat beside her, watching and listening attentively.

Celeste and Jordyn responded in unison, “Okay, coming.”

Jordyn held onto Celeste’s fingers, happily leading her toward the dining room.
