The meeting was schedule the day after the festival was over. Heather offered to let David stay at her place and borrow clothes, but he felt more comfortable at his own place and borrowed some stuff from his sister.

When he finally arrived at the tech bro’s office, instead of having a way to switch back to normal, several legal documents were shoved in David’s face. It seemed that despite developing a way to switch bodies, the dude hadn’t yet figured out how to safely swap people back, and David and Heather were being offered huge cash settlements.

David was resigned to the fact that he was going to be stuck as Heather for a lot longer, but he could turn down millions of dollars. He did, however, pause at the non-disclosure clause, and explained that he had told his sister already. The lawyers scribbed and added some language and told David she would have to come down as soon as possible as well, but that it shouldn’t be a problem. And so David signed, prepared to be Heather for quite a while longer...
