"Stacy...it's time to go home..." Linda said, oblivious to the drama. Her voice seemed to be adopting a bit of a Montana twang to it... "You can come over here and play another time," she promised.
If Linda now thought she was Stacy's mom...what did that make her...? She'd seen Stacy do many things...had Stacy simply swapped her and Linda to everyone? It was hard to say...Emily had developed some awareness when Stacy did something, but she wasn't immune. It tended to vary. For example, she had been certain Stacy had once done something to her babysitter...but she couldn't recall what. It was a feeling. Sam seemed to have more resistance, but even he wasn't immune.
She looked at Stacy. "Please...I don't want..."
"You didn't want to play...now you get to play a different game with the GIbsons.."
