Perceived (Part 1)

Adam was still trying to wrap his head around his first day back to the office after switching bodies with his wife. When the swap first happened over the weekend, they spoke with one of their neighbors -- who still acknowledged Adam as Adam and Grace as Grace, despite the swapped bodies. And it was the same at work...sort of. Everyone still called him Adam; he still had his usual job; it all seemed normal.

However, he did notice that he wasn’t listened to in meetings; people often talked over him. People asked him why he wasn’t wearing a dress or makeup. They told him to smile more. It seemed that even though everyone still knew him as “Adam,” he was also now seen as a woman. Adam did use this on the way home to his advantage, as he was able to flirt his way out of a ticket when a cop pulled him over for speeding.

He wondered how Grace was holding up. She had probably gone to the supermarket today, and she likely wore one of her dresses. He can’t imagine that had gone well for her, and they both had to discuss what their plans were next...
