As we walked in the front door together, the place got quiet. When we got accustomed to the lack of light, Cathy and I were shocked to find a half doz...en of our friends eating deep-dish pizzas with two pitchers of beer. They were staring at us with their mouths open. Really, their mouths were actually open. I looked at Cathy and said that I have to handle this. She told me no, WE have to handle it, and do it together. And we did. We let them know that we were dating again and although it would. .. I mean she shakes hands and all... after disinfecting of course... we are in Covid times after all...So - we get back to compressions and she is not depressing the chest on the manequin anywhere near hard enough.. she's only going about half way - so I shift position to get beside her and help her go deeper - but still not hard enough to activate the signal that says you've done an effective cardiac compression.I move behind her - helping her to adjust her angle ( she was too shallow) so. As I was leaning against the wall with the cool water cascading over me it suddenly seemed clear. I was trying to tell myself to move forward. I finished in the shower, dressed and went to my office. I opened the safe and removed the engagement ring I had bought for Michelle. I opened the box and it was just as stunning as it had been the day, I put it on her finger. In my heart, I knew that Michelle would want Kate to wear it. I slipped the ring into my pocket and now had to figure out a way. I got a bit spooked, but the small blue bead seemed to be stuckon the pink side now, so there wasn't much I could do anyway.I went to put the device down, when I noticed some more writing. Surely ithadn't appeared? I just hadn't noticed it before."In order to complete your change from male to female, it is necessary toalter objects and memories around you, so that no one else is aware of themagic.
