INICIAR SESIÓNI shook my head, leaning back in shock. The image of Daniel’s corpse from my first timeline flashed through my mind.“I don’t want you spying on her, Daniel.”“Why not?

My jaw hung open in shock at the scene I had just witnessed. Rachel and Vic are mates? How is that possible? I looked up to Caleb and saw the same surprise I felt mirrored in his expression.
