🌶️🌶️🌶️ Be advised - this episode contains scenes which are sexually explicit, and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Time skips, jumps, and stops. Mya is everywhere now… too close, too hungry, threatening to devour Kaylee’s entire world. Then… a voice. Familiar. How did she get here? When a simple question shatters everything, Kaylee must make a terrible decision.
