”My childhood friend ,we dated all through school then separated when we went to college.We both were dating others when we met years after college...so we couldn’t get back together ,and then she passed away from cancer. The third I had been introduced to by a friend and we seemed to hit it off .She was a gorgeous woman,very passionate and I hoped she would have said yes".She said no to a guy that is as sweet as you ,what was wrong with her?”Em said, sounding surprised. I shrugged my. That’s how she found him when she opened the door, sitting there in the semi dark, his arms folded across his chest, the look on his face angry and hurt. She saw the small packet on the table in front of him and ignoring him walked into the bedroom to change into her jeans. Following her into the room he stood by the door watching her as she pulled the tee shirt over head. ‘Ok tell me how long?’ ‘Drop it Misha, You’re not my keeper.’ ‘I said how long have you been back taking it?’ ‘Fuck off.’. I cleared my throat, that didn't soundquite right, and it felt as if the breath couldn't go as deep as normal. Igroggily got to my feet, and brushed my hair off my shoulders. Wait. Ididn't have shoulder length hair. I rubbed the sleepiness from my eyes, andimmediately I felt something was amiss. I looked at my hands, they weresmaller, attached to shorter, smooth arms without viens crossing them. Itook another step, feeling a huge difference below my waist, and feelingjiggling above my waist. I. My mom, and brother were sitting at thekitchen table. They both looked at me in away that told me that Bob hadtold mom about Kate. Mom said, "Honey. Bob told us, and I'm so sorryabout you and Kate." We'll work something out," I said."I hope so. I know you like each other a lot."I sat down, and ate my breakfast. Then looked at my mom, and asked,"How do you get nail polish off?" Why honey?", she asked."We didn't have time to get it off my toes last Saturday." Oh. Well. I've got some polish.
