“God, you make my body look so stupid sometimes.” Anne heard Joe say from a distance.
Making fun of each other was common for both of them. That sort of banter often made Anne feel like she was already married to Joe. She knew she probably looked stupid by continuing to wear women’s yoga pants and high heels even though she had Joe’s body, but she did it so she felt better about herself, not for anyone else. She realized Joe dressed the way he did for similar reasons.
Of course, she couldn’t let him get away without a barb of her own. As soon as she saw an opening, she spouted out, “You’re hardly a lesbian as long as you’re with me,” referencing the previous night.
As the jokes toned down, they began to talk about their wedding plans. Anne had an uncomfortable favor.
“I know it’s weird, but...would you mind wearing my mom’s old dress for the wedding?” She asked before adding, “I think it would mean a lot to her. It was something I promised I would do prior to the Shift, and considering the body she’s now in...I don’t think she’ll be around much longer. And I think it would mean a lot to her to see you dressed like that and for a moment have her think that’s me up there...”
“Of course, but I guess you gotta wear a tux that day.”
“Yeah, not looking forward to that, but it’s fair. But after the wedding, we’re back to the usual.”
“For sure!”
“Good, because I’ve been working out and your former body is going to look so good in a bikini on our honeymoon...”
