"I’m just me," I tell her "I always feel at home and I never feel at ho so sex?"

"Is Dylan blushing?" I ask "Right now, is he blushing?"

"Yeah," Rhiannon says

"Good Because I know I am"

"You’ve never had--?"

"It wouldn’t be fair of lad you find this funny"

"Sorry"

"There was this one girl"

"Really?"

"Yeah Yesterday When I was in your body Don’t you renant"

"That’s not funny!" she says But she’s laughing

"I only have eyes for you," I say

Just six words, and the conversation turns serious again I can feel it like a shift in the air, like when a cloud hter stops, and we sit there in the moment after it’s faded away

"A--" she starts But I don’t want to hear it I don’t want to hear about Justin or iether

"Not now," I say "Let’s stay on the nice note"

"Okay," she says "I can do that"

She asks s I noticed when I was in her body, and I tell her about the birthmark, about different people I noticed in her classes, about her parents’ concern I share the Rebecca memory, but don’t tell her my observations about Justin, because she already knows those things, whether or not she adht wrinkles around her eyes or her pimples, because I know they would bother her, even when they add so real to her beauty

Both of us have to be ho to let her leave is to extract a proether soon Tomorrow Or if not tomorrow, the next day

"How can I say no?" she says "I’ to see who you’ll be next"

I know it’s a joke, but I have to tell her, "I’ll always be A"

She stands up and kisses me on the forehead

"I know," she says "That’s why I want to see you"

We leave on a nice note
