“That’s what I’m afraid of,” I confide, “I’m so afraid that, if I let myself
go, I’ll like it too much to go back.”
“Well, girl, it seems to me that you’ll have to go back to being
Chris. After all, how would you explain Chris’s disappearance? I would miss him
terribly. Just think, if you didn’t switch back then we’d both need to
find new boyfriends; and let me tell you, girl, guys like Chris are rare and
very hard to find. Anyway, letting yourself go may make the transition back to
being Chris harder, but not unbearable, and I think that it will make your
summer much more fun. Think about it, girl friend.”
I do think about it–a lot–before I finally get to sleep.
