Sophie wanted to be angry about everything. The Great Shift had put her in a man’s body; the entire world was in chaos. She had been lucky enough to find her boyfriend, but she was so intensely jealous that he was now a cute Asian woman with a pixie haircut. How come he could be cute, and she was so gross!? She was about to yell at him when he pulled a bunch of dandelions out from behind his back.
“I know you like when I get you flowers, and I know you’d be mad if I picked the carefully landscaped ones,” He said nervously, “When I realized everyone swapped bodies, I figured you probably did too, and, well, I know the kinds of care and effort you go through because of how much your cared about yourself. So I hoped flowers would help make you feel better. I know they aren’t much. I love you.”
Sophie no longer wanted to scream. She wanted to cry. Her boyfriend was not just cute...he was sweet, kind, and just plain adorable. Getting over her jealousy might not be easy in this situation, but maybe she could try.
