The moment Bonnie uttered Wade's name, the live comment section erupted.
[???]
[Did I just hallucinate? Did Bonnie really say Wade Banton's name?]
[I swear I heard it too!]
[Wait... no. No way.]
Just as someone typed those fateful words, a man's voice responded, pleasant and low. "Hm? What's up?"
Everything froze.
For a few seconds, there was nothing but silence. Then came Bonnie's voice, calm and unmistakable, as she said, "Come here for a second."
[Wait... Is she talking to him?]
[No, I can't believe this. Not even from Bonnie.]
[There's no way this is happening.]
[My hands are literally shaking. If it's him, I swear I'll lose it.]
Wade Banton, still holding a sleek black game controller in one hand, looked effortlessly magnetic. He handed it over to Rory Walker and stood up, walking toward Bonnie with the kind of smooth, unhurried confidence that made it impossible to look away.
