I stared at the rabbit, still bouncing around the room, and felt a mix of emotions. Excitement, wonder, and a dash of fear. I had done it. I had actually created a love potion that worked.
But as I watched the rabbit, I realized that I had no idea how to control the effects. Would Alex fall in love with me, or would he become obsessed? And what about the rabbit? How long would it stay "in love" with... well, whatever it was in love with?
I needed to find a way to reverse the effects, or at least understand how to control them. I started frantically searching through my notes and research, but everything seemed to be focused on creating the potion, not undoing it.
As I searched, the rabbit continued to bounce around the room, its blue glow growing brighter. I started to feel a sense of unease. What if I couldn't turn it off? What if...
Suddenly, the rabbit stopped in front of me, looked up, and spoke in a high-pitched voice, "I love you."
I jumped back, startled. "What? No, no, no. You're just a stuffed animal. You don't really love me."
The rabbit looked up at me with big, round eyes and said, "But I do. I love you with all my heart."
I realized that I had a bigger problem on my hands than just a love potion. I had a talking rabbit.
