[ WP ] trapped in a time loop , you meet a wonderful girl . After weeks of doing the same things and telling the same stories , she starts having frequent episodes of déjà vu and remembering events from previous loops .

“ Hey Kate, want to go grab some ice cream? ” I instinctively reach over to touch her hand on the sofa, for the twentieth time. 
 
 The sun ’ s light lazily shines through the window as it sets. Kate smiles as she turns away from the TV. “ Sure! ” She replies with a smile just as wide as any of the other times I ’ ve asked her. 
 
 I grab the keys and we get into the car. As I drive around town for the twentieth time, Kate excitedly tells me about the promotion she ’ s getting at work. 
 
 “ Omg Aaron! ” 
 
 “ Yea? ” 
 
 “ You won ’ t believe what happened at work! ” 
 
 “ What is it? ” 
 
 “ Guess! Guess! ” 
 
 “ Uhhh… A promotion? ” 
 
 Just then, I could feel just a slight hesitation from Kate. Her face briefly showed surprise and confusion, but was quickly replaced with a smile again. 
 
 “ You got it! ” She finally said, with noticeably less excitement than the twenty other times I replied – with the same answer. 
 
 I slowly pull into the parking lot adjacent to the ice cream parlor, just as I look over and notice a frown on Kate ’ s face. “ Something nagging you? ” I ask her, as I leave the car. 
 
 “ No…. Not really….. ” 
 
 I chuckle a bit, trying to light up the mood. I don ’ t notice that this was the first time she ’ s frowned out of the twenty time loops I ’ ve replayed. 
 
 “ Hey Aaron…? ” She asks just as we ’ re about to go into the parlor. 
 
 “ Yea? ” 
 
 “ Have we been here before…? ” 
 
 Just then, bright light shines all around me as my vision of the world shatters and blurs. 
 
 The time loop has been broken.
