Perfect Relationship

When he turned 40, Sam began to worry that he was never going to be in a fulfilling relationship. But then he met Evelyn. They hit it off instantly. She was around his age, seemed to be interested in a lot of the same things, and was easy to be around. After a few weeks of dating, he went back to her place. He fell asleep with Evelyn in his arms, believing he had finally found the perfect relationship.

However, that wonderful illusion was shattered the next morning when he awoke. For starters, he awoke alone. Instead of Evelyn in his arms there was a book. A notecard was placed inside, which he immediately removed to read.

“I’m sorry, Sam,” The note read, “I stole your body and left you with mine. I know it wasn’t fair, but I couldn’t stand being a woman for another day. Don’t worry though. This book is full of magic spells, and the one on this page will allow you to swap bodies with anyone -- just like I did with you.”

Sam was trying to grasp what this note was even telling him. Swapping bodies? But that meant...

He rushed to the mirror shocked to see Evelyn’s reflection looking back at him. She had, in fact, taken his body, and he was now her! It seemed impossible, yet he couldn’t deny what he was seeing. She must’ve woken up in the middle of the night, gotten dressed, and cast the spell. Now he was now her, and she had run off with his body!
