It all slowly cam back to him. Jake remembered the job he had at the PR firm, and the cupcakes he needed to pick up for the girls in the office. He remembered his name was actually Aida now, which is what his mom would’ve named him if he had been born a girl.
Luckily, it seemed he wasn’t forgetting anything about being Jake or who he had been. Instead, he was like all this new information was just building on top of everything he knew about himself.
Sure, now he knew how to style a client, but he still remembered everything about miter joints. He could rehash all the latest celebrity gossip and the cheat codes of his favorite video games. He knew how to deal with a period while remembering peeing standing up.
He was very worried that old knowledge would fade, but it never seemed to. In fact, there was a sort of curse to that, because he still couldn’t shake how bad he felt for catcalling that woman the morning his transformed. He couldn’t shake it no matter how hard he tried.
Much nicer from the front.
