she laughed, "I came to let you know what to expect and to bring some news" "This shift will not be as painful as your first shift," she continued, "Your body remembers the arrangement now. You will have mild pain, but it won't be as bad. You and Kayla will not need to worry about shredding your clothes either.

Even Marino had begun to show a strange affection, bringing me silk scarves and jewelry from his travels. How was I to know that was just the deceptive calm before the storm? It was crazy how the world could flip on its axis in a single night. The night of my eighteenth birthday. October 15, 2021. The night I shifted.
