As Zoe stood there in shock, the "light show" ceased and the mist mysteriously disappeared.
Linda was about to head back into her room, but turned back towards Zoe, seeing that she had her mouth wide open in shock.
"What the fuck's wrong with you, Zoe?" she asked, then just rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I'm going to bed." Then she walked back into the master bedroom and shut the door behind her.
Zoe stared at the door that was just closed. If her mom was "her" now, then why did she go back into the master bedroom? Did she still think that she was her mother, even though they were now the same age? Zoe shook her head. None of this made any sense. What was that mist and that "light show"? Zoe wasn't stupid. She figured that the mist and the "light show" must have caused her mother to change into a version of herself, but where did the mist come from and where did it go afterwards? And how was it able to change her mother?
In a daze, she walked into her bedroom. Maybe going to bed was the best idea after all. She was just too tired to think about this right now.
