Daisy parked her car in the garage by her apartment and went in. She spun around with her arms out once inside, a satisfied smirk on her face “All mine…my life, my place, my choices!”
She immediately headed to her room and she went into her closet. She striped off her conservative work clothes and put on a red top with a plunging neckline and a loose, higher cut skirt along with knee high black heeled boots.
There was a trendy Italian restaurant and jazz club across the street and Daisy headed there directly. No questions, just led to a table by the bar where she ordered a glass of wine and Fettuccini Alfredo.
She sat back sipping her wine and enjoying her meal while the band played.
She thought about her tomorrow. Waking up in her Aunt’s body and life. She knew her workload, she had a perfect grasp and handle of it and she smirked “This is going to be easier than I thought. I got all her skills in this swap”
Then she thought about the somewhat scatterbrained 13 year old her Aunt had become “You’re going to love every second of my old life…your life now!” she took another sip.
Daisy caught a few guys’ eyes. She would smile at them but she also kept them away “That’s not right…if I’m only visiting…but…if by some chance this becomes my permanent home, well then, I don’t think I’ll have any problems in that regard”
Carrie had watched her niece leave in her body to take over her life. The door closed and reality slammed home.
“Dinner will be ready in a few minutes and you got lucky, basketball practice is cancelled tonight. I got a text from Coach McGuire; he’s sick. You need to put your laundry away and get your chores done before we eat then I’ll be checking your homework. We have to get your English grade up from that C- you’re currently pulling” Jessica…Mom said to her.
“But English was my best subject” Carrie thought before her new mind caught up with her “I guess not anymore”
“And you’re barely maintaining a B- in math” her Mom added “But I’ll go over them with you to make sure you’re understanding them”
“I was always a better student than you Jessica” Carrie thought “That’s why I’m the attorney and you got your degree in communications”
Carrie couldn’t say anything though except “Yeah Mom”
Jessica cocked an eyebrow and folded her arms.
Carrie took in her look and knew intimidation once more. All the thoughts and emotions of being 13 were overwhelming her. Her mind rocketed back and forth, her emotions played Hell on her body and mind. She realized that her Mom was waiting for her to move so she finally convinced her feet and legs to go to her room and begin her chores.
“I can’t believe I’m a kid again. Stuck doing kid stuff, getting bossed around, no say in anything I can or can’t do. Mom runs the home and teachers run the rest of my day at school” she thought as she put away her folded up clothes “Still…I didn’t have to do my laundry. I’m not cooking my meal and it’s not my responsibility to pay any of the bills around here”
Her chore for the night was gathering up trash and making sure it was out to the curb. She thought about her life and realized that her mind was that of a 13 year old. She couldn’t remember what she was originally scheduled to do tomorrow. She had no grasp of the law any longer. Now, it was a struggle to concentrate in her classes. She still had to come up with a science project. She had to figure out if Jocelyn was actually mad at her or if she was just playing it like that to get sympathy. “Good luck and good riddance to my adult self and problems…you can have them Daisy Lou…” she thought with a laugh.
Carrie sat down to dinner with her Mom. Her Dad came in a few minutes later and she smiled and felt a warmth that she had never known before towards her brother in law. She answered their questions, made small talk and basically lied about her day and how boring it was.
“Where’s ape face?” Carrie asked calling her brother by his nickname that just came to her.
“Be nice to your brother” Her Mom snapped and she felt a tiny bit of shame. “He’s at Johnny’s house tonight”
“Good” was all she said. She wasn’t ready to have a little brother in her face yet.
“Maybe I’ll become an attorney like Aunt Carrie” she said.
“Not with your grades you won’t” her Mom told her. “You need to pull those way up if you want to get into law school”
“So Aunt Carrie was a good student huh. Better than you Mom?” Carrie asked.
“Yes…she’s very bright. You should be more like her” Jessica answered.
“If you only knew” Carrie thought in Daisy’s body.
After dinner, she did her homework. “This is sooooooo hard!” she yelled out in frustration at one point. “Would have been better if I’d had kept my own brain in all this!”
“What’s that honey? What did you say?” Jessica called out.
“Nothing Mom!” Carrie replied shaking her head. She was sitting cross legged on her bed. Her laptop open in front of her as she did her homework tied in to her school’s network.
It took her over an hour and then she was embarrassed to have her mistakes pointed out to her. “God, school is so hard for me” she whined.
“I know honey. I know you’re trying…you’re not Aunt Carrie I guess. She never had any issues with her homework…you’re more like me” Jessica consoled her.
Carrie’s cheeks burned.
After her homework passed her Mom. She got back on her phone and really immersed herself in her new life.
A trip to the bathroom before bed helped as well as she brushed her teeth. Her braces gleamed and she felt the weight of them but her skin was so buoyant and fresh. She examined her faint freckles and her very youthful features “I’m not even to my final stage of looks yet. I’m such a little kid still”
She turned profile and saw her slight build added to her young face “OMG!” she giggled.
“Lights out!” Jessica yelled and Carrie rolled her eyes “And that means your phone goes off too! Your Dad is switching off the Wi-Fi!”
“Yes Mother…I know!” She called back sarcastically.
Carrie woke up refreshed. She still groaned about having to get up and dragged her feet as she went down the hall to the bathroom but once she was showered, she felt good. Pain free and able to rouse herself without coffee. Even thinking about the taste upset her.
She got dressed in black leggings, black Converse tennis shoes and a Nirvana t-shirt. She let her hair do whatever and had Cinnamon Toast Crunch for breakfast “Good luck Daisy…you’re gonna need it” she said to herself as she got her backpack and headed to her Dad’s car for her ride to school.
Daisy woke up in her king size bed with satin sheets and still felt tired. She barely opened her eyes as she headed to her kitchen to start her Keurig.
She stopped by the bathroom; her back groaned at her as she moved around “Sucks getting older” she mumbled.
She checked her texts and emails as she drank her coffee before she got ready. She showered. Her heavier and thicker body felt relaxed by the hot water and she brushed her teeth and did her makeup as her hair dried.
She had to do her hair as well before getting dressed in a blue blouse, gray skirt and black heels. She was due in court at 9.
A second cup of coffee in her travel mug brewed up as she checked her briefcase for all her notes and her laptop. She called into her office and got her messages before she drove directly downtown to the courthouse.
She knew everyone there and they knew her. She went to the work area, the staging area where she waited for her client to be brought to her. It was all perfectly natural to her. Daisy was no longer a timid 7th grade middle school student who struggled with her work. She was a lawyer. Had been for a decade now, graduated top of her class in high school, college and law school. She was on her way to making partner in another few years. She was able to bill out at $400 an hour and it was all her now.
“Thank God she picked me up yesterday” Daisy thought “And thank God she was so willing to swap lives with me. I can’t believe I have her life and all I had to give up, was my own stupid brain and lame situation. She wanted to be 13…wow”
By the end of the day, Daisy was exhausted. She truly earned her money. Her mind was mush and the pressure was incredible. She also realized she had a ton a prep work to do for tomorrow and would be lucky to get a few hours of sleep. She headed to her office, grabbing food on her way and lined up 2 paralegals to help her out with her work. It would be after 2 A.M. when she finished up, went home and slept for 4 hours only to do it all over again.
The part of her life she had avoided the night before climbed in behind her. Her brother Tyler. “You’re going to make us late ape face!” she snapped at him.
“Shut up horse face!” Tyler replied slamming the door and putting his knees into the back of the seat.
“Oh…so original. I come up with a name and you just change it a little bit back to me. You are so unoriginal” Carrie said “And get your knees outta my back jerk”
“Knock it off you too” their Dad sighed getting in “Can’t I drive you two to school just once without having to listen to this?”
“Sorry” Carrie replied sheepishly while Tyler just stayed quiet until he said “She started it”
“Yeah…whatever” Dad sighed again and backed out.
“I’ve got practice tonight right after school so Kayleigh’s Mom will bring me home” Carrie said as she got out.
“Ok…have a good day. See you tonight” their Dad said as they both got out.
They split up immediately going their own ways.
By the end of the day, Carrie was exhausted. Her mind was mush and the pressure was incredible. She grabbed her gym bag and headed to the locker room to change for practice.
Drills and laps and set offenses and defenses came to her as she burned off her pent up energy. She was getting hot and sweaty; her cheeks were a flush pink color by the end, but she felt good.
She got into her friend’s Mom’s car and rode home talking the whole way as only a 13 year old could.
Carrie walked in and her brother jumped out from behind the dryer screaming at her.
When she jumped, he laughed and ran off “I scared you!” he chanted as he did.
“God you’re annoying!” she yelled after him.
“Leave your brother alone” Mom yelled.
“But he…grrr…” Carrie said walking through the kitchen.
“Go shower; dinner will be ready in a few minutes”
“Ok” Carrie replied heading upstairs. She stopped at her brother’s bedroom door “Jerk” was all she said before heading to her own room. She tossed her gym bag inside not bothering to unpack it. She grabbed a change of clothes and headed to the shower making sure to lock the door behind her. Tyler was known for sneaking in and stealing her clothes.
She still was surprised at just how skinny and underdeveloped she was; her thigh gap was huge. Her legs looked like two toothpicks sticking out of her shorts.
Carrie jumped in and took her time, losing track of time as she let the warm water run over her long hair.
Carrie went to dinner with her long hair hanging down wet, making dark spots over the shoulders of her gray t-shirt. She was also barefoot and in a pair of lounge pants with kittens on them.
“Would you please at least brush your hair?” Mom pleaded “You’re going to get knots!”
“I did brush it!” Carrie replied annoyed “Ugh! Why would you think I wouldn’t brush my own hair mother?!”
“Don’t you give me that tone young lady!” Jessica shot back “Your hair looks like a rat’s nest. Now go brush it out or I’ll do it for you”
“Fine!” Carrie stomped off. She stomped all the way to her room, raked her brush through her hair then walked back to the table still brushing. She sat back down, sarcastic look on her face and said “There. Better?”
“Yes…much” Jessica said calmly.
Carrie ate in silence, mad at everybody at the table “I wish I was an adult again” she thought before her cheeks began to burn.
After her second full day in court, going almost 18 hours, Daisy collapsed in a chair in her expensive downtown apartment. She slipped her shoes off; her feet ached after being in the heels all day. At least the next two days would be in her office. She had a glass of wine in her hand and music played softly in the background “I am so tired” was the only thought she could even form up in her head. Everything else was just replaying the day.
“I have a huge expensive apartment that I barely see. I have a great expensive car I barely drive. I have expensive clothes, manicures, pedicures, spa treatments…just so I can look exhausted” Daisy thought as a smirk crossed her lips “I wish I was a kid again” she thought as her cheeks began to burn.
That night, Daisy dreamt that she woke up late for school. She was in her own body again.
That night, Carrie dreamt she was due in court. She was in her own body again.
Both woke up in their realities.
“I really need to text Aunt Carrie” Daisy thought as she put on her makeup and did her hair.
“I really need to text Daisy” Carrie thought as she put on her leggings and sneakers and hoisted her back pack over her shoulder.
But two more full days passed and then both went out on Friday night.
Daisy found herself relaxing at the jazz club over wine in a private room in the back with several of the other lawyers from her firm.
Carrie was at the movies watching the latest superhero movie while munching on popcorn, sipping on Mountain Dew and texting the other girls in her row while the movie played.
On Saturday morning, Carrie got up and had to get ready for her basketball game.
She put on a sports bra and compression shorts first, still amazed at her thinness. Her game white shorts and white number 33 jersey went on next followed by her warm up shirt. She pulled her blue and white socks on but put on a pair of slides until she got to the gym and changed into her game shoes.
Carrie wasn’t a starter but she saw time at guard. She had a decent shot but she tended to get pushed around under the basket on rebounds due to her lack of heft.
She was surprised when she looked up in the 4th quarter and saw Daisy sitting next to her brother, chatting away and getting him to smile.
She missed her last two shots; maybe she was rattled by seeing her old self watching but her team won anyway.
After their postgame talk, Carrie gathered up her bag and headed out to meet her family.
“Great game Daisy!” Daisy said slapping her on the shoulder.
“Yeah, I guess” Carrie replied nervously, her stomach suddenly flipping around.
“Since I know you hate having to sit through your brother’s games, luckily for you, your Aunt has offered to take you out to lunch instead” Jessica said.
“Oh…yeah…thanks Aunt Carrie…that’d be awesome” Carrie said. She sat down and took off her game shoes and put the slides back on.
“I’ll get her home for you later sis” Daisy said “We’re going to have a girls’ day out”
“Oooo…sounds like fun you two” Jessica teased.
“More fun than the last time when I just got to take her to her ortho appointment” Daisy added.
“Haha…very funny” Carrie added looking up at the taller woman.
They all walked out to the parking lot together before breaking off and heading to Daisy’s Audi.
They shared a smile both wary and knowing as they got in; Daisy behind the wheel and Carrie in the passenger seat.
The doors shut and they exploded into laughter.
“OMG…what are you doing here?” Carrie said.
“Checking up on you obviously!” Daisy replied. “I thought, well, maybe I should take you out to lunch”
“I’d like that” Carrie replied.
“Give us a chance to talk” Daisy added as they drove out. “Where would you like to go?”
Carrie let her mind drift “Can we get Chinese from Molly’s?”
“Of course we can!” Daisy replied. “Should we go back to my place and order it in on Grubhub?”
“Sure…sounds good. Gives us that chance to talk in private” Carrie agreed.
“Somethings we might say…if they got overheard would sound crazy” Daisy echoed.
“I’ve got some stories for you” Carrie said.
“Good or bad?”
“Both” Carrie said “More good than bad…” she shrugged her shoulders.
“This week…wow…this week has definitely been something” Daisy said.
“Tell me about it”
“I’m going to” Daisy said.
They drove for a moment in silence as they headed downtown.
“I know we said a week, but I thought this might be our best chance to get together and it’s basically been a week”
“Oh I know” Carrie replied tucking her hair behind her ears nervously “I thought about texting you the other day to check in”
“Aw…that’s so sweet” Daisy replied “I thought about you a lot. Wondering how you were holding up. How you liked being a kid again”
“It brought back a lot of memories, I’ll say that for sure. Being a kid today is a bit different but still basically the same. 1997 barely had email now…everything in school is on computer and online” Carrie replied.
Daisy smirked watching traffic.
“And dealing with my Mom!” Carrie interjected.
“Now she can be…” Daisy began
“A pain in the butt yeah!” Carrie finished “I put up with her as a sister and a Mom now…kinda weird but, so is switching bodies with your 13 year old niece haha”
They pulled into the parking garage and made their way to Daisy’s apartment.
“I missed this place” Carrie admitted coming inside.
“I bet you did. It’s very nice” Daisy added. “I love the king size bed”
Carrie walked around what had been her apartment slowly.
“You have such nice things; the clothes, the car, this place…” Daisy said walking behind her.
Carrie spun to face her “This is quite the life I gave you”
“Do you want it back?” Daisy asked bluntly.
Carrie’s mouth went up and down wordlessly a few times. She knew she wanted to say Yes, yet something was holding her back “Do you want your old life back?” she finally said to Daisy.
Daisy had been ready to swap back; it’s why she had gotten the two of them alone but now faced with the direct question, she hesitated.
“Yes and No” she finally answered smiling.
Carrie folded her arms across her flat chest.
“Part of me wants to go back. To be a kid again but another part of me knows I’ve got it made here. Part of me though is super stressed in this life and just wants to leave the responsibilities but another part doesn’t want to give up the freedom” Daisy said.
“I get it” Carrie said. “And I feel the same way but kinda in reverse” she smiled. “I miss a lot about this life…my adult life but I also really have some fun as a kid”
“Both have their own strengths and weaknesses” Daisy replied.
“But in the end, it’s not fair for you to go from 13 to 35” Carrie said. “You need to go to High School, to College…you need a few crappy jobs. You need to get your heart broken by douche bag high schoolers. I can’t have two trips though those years…it’s not fair”
Daisy smiled “Ok”
They embraced. “Let’s eat though first. Then we can swap back”
“Sounds perfect!” Carrie bounced up and down.
Daisy got on her phone and put their order through. While they waited, Carrie went to her bedroom and began to play in her clothes. Coming out in a skirt, blouse and heels made her look very silly; like a kid playing in her Mom’s clothes. It really brought out just how young she was.
“I can’t even fit into the clothes you took off so don’t even think about it!” Daisy cried.
Carrie came back out in just her very loose basketball shorts and an extra t-shirt she had found in her old bedroom “I figured I should be in something big, you know…”
“Once you grow your own big ass back!” Daisy laughed slapping her hip. “I’m joking of course…it’s just”
“It’s just that this body is so dang skinny” Carrie finished. “Like…Hello! Grow something…eat a sandwich!”
“You’re not even halfway through puberty” Daisy waved her off dismissively.
“When’s food getting here? I’m starving” Carrie moaned dramatically.
“Should be here in another 10 minutes kiddo” Daisy replied.
“Has that become your favorite thing to call me? Kiddo?” Carrie asked.
Daisy sat down smiling. She was in a pair of leggings and a loose green top along with socks. She had taken her boots off when she had gotten home “I guess it is” she admitted “I liked being older than you. The different dynamic between us, between me and everybody. Getting seen and treated as an adult because I was one…am one still”
“I had forgotten what it’s like to be treated like a kid. It really is different. The way I was bossed around and talked down to all week…” Carrie shook her head. “Adulthood is earned”
“Tell me about it” Daisy laughed.
“I’m going to miss having this energy” Carrie lamented.
“I’m going to miss this body haha” Daisy admitted.
“Your own will continue to grow and mature…just a lot slower than what we managed to pull off” Carrie told her.
The food arrived and they sat across from each other at the table eating and telling stories from the week.
Daisy stood up, an odd smile on her face. She began to remove her earrings and other jewelry, placing it all on the table “The only metal I’ll have now will be in my mouth”
“My Mom…er…your Mom, won’t let you wear jewelry” Carrie said. “I got to get back to thinking of her as my sister and not my Mom”
“Face it: You’re going to remember these days vividly even after we swap back. You’re still going to think of her as your Mom too from now on”
Carrie blushed “Yeah…you’re right”
“In the middle of a boring debriefing, you’re going to daydream that you’re me” Daisy teased.
“So will you!” Carrie shot back “Sitting in Social Studies you’re going to pretend you’re in front of a jury”
“Probably” Daisy replied calmly. “Are you ready for this?”
Carrie felt nervous suddenly “I…I don’t know…yes”
Daisy just laughed. She walked over to the door and grabbed the slides Carrie had worn in and a pair of old flip flops that were lying around.
She put on the slides and saw the smirk on Carrie’s face as she put her feet into the sandals.
“They fit!” Carrie yelled out after looking down and wiggling her bare toes. The sky blue polish had only chipped worse over the course of the week. She hadn’t touched it up at all; it was totally off at least three of her toes and a few more had less than half coverage.
“God” Daisy said looking at Carrie’s feet “Those look like crap…I will repaint them tonight”
Carrie just shrugged “Who cares…I get my pedicure back”
Daisy got Carrie’s attention and their eyes met “I wish I was me again” she said sincerely.
Carrie smirked at hearing the words “I wish I was me again” she repeated.
Daisy slipped backwards out of the slides. She used her toes to pull off her socks and it was just in time. She was able to get one last look at her thicker and wider toes with their professionally done burgundy nails before her feet began to narrow and the tan began to fade.
Carrie’s toes spread out and popped. The muscles locked at full spread before easing back. As they did, they began to change shape, becoming wider and thicker. Her feet plumped up thicker as well and her heels got rougher. Her nails flattened and spread as burgundy polish took hold.
They shared a knowing smile “Stage one” Daisy said “I get my feet back!”
“It’s working! We’re going to swap back” Carrie replied.
“Would you have minded if it didn’t work? What if we said this and nothing happened?” Daisy asked.
Carrie shrugged “I’d be okay with it if I had to. It’s not bad being you at all”
Daisy blushed “Part of me really hoped it worked and part of me hoped it didn’t. I wouldn’t have minded if we were stuck as each other. I would have been happy going on like this”
“I know” Carrie admitted “Me too” she added in quietly.
Carrie’s legs began to grow. Her calf muscles popped as her thighs began to plump and round as they became full and mature again.
Daisy’s whole body shuddered as she thinned. Her legs lost tone and definition and overall size, trimming and thinning down quickly to the legs of a kid again.
Her hips narrowed and her ass deflated, both taking her waist in with them as they went.
Carrie’s bottom half was maturing quickly but her top half was still very much the slim and trim build she had been sporting. Daisy’s overall transformation was taking on a different look as her whole body seemed to going inward.
Carrie’s hips and ass spread outward giving her back her curves. Her waist shifted just as her body shuddered and weight came onto her frame. Her back and torso suddenly moved outward to catch up, lifting her shoulders even into the process.
Their heights swapped back. Carrie grew 2 inches as simultaneously, Daisy lost 2 inches.
“Ah! I’m shorter again!” Daisy exclaimed “I liked being that little bit taller!”
“And I’d say you could still do it but…”
“But this has been my height now for like a year. I think I’m done at 5’4” sadly enough” Daisy said.
“There’s always heels” Carrie laughed.
“I got quite used to wearing yours” Daisy said.
“You can borrow your favorite pairs anytime. Or even better…I’ll buy you your own for birthdays and Christmas” Carrie replied.
“I can start building up my shoe collection…that’ll be perfect!”
“If your feet are done growing, I’ll start you out with some basics that’ll never go out of style and build from there” Carrie said. “Basic black and nudes…a strappy wedge to play around in…”
Daisy just giggled. Her voice was still deep and very Carrie like but the giggle still sounded girlish.
Carrie’s stomach softened as weight returned “Mid 30’s spread; welcome home…”
Daisy’s stomach went flat, almost concave in its adolescent thinness. “Now if I could just keep these. The boys would give me a lot more attention” she joked just as her breasts began to deflate and shrink down “Guess not though”
“You don’t need those at your age” Carrie said as her own breasts began to grow and inflate. The weight built up pressing the skin forward to accommodate it all. They stayed out big and perky for a moment before gravity re-entered the equation and brought them back down to her chest “D’s are back!”
“B’s are back and God do they feel small!” Daisy called out in response as her breasts lifted up underneath her shirt to small and pert.
Daisy’s upper arms trimmed way back, losing all heft and curve and returning to pencil thin.
“Could’ve done without my arm fat coming back” Carrie said as her arms received what Daisy lost.
Daisy giggled again as her hands smoothed out and her fingers slimmed down. The burgundy was lost again to an even worse chip job on her fingers.
“What? Basketball practice was really tough the other night. I lost a whole nail’s worth of polish when Miranda whipped the ball at me” Carrie said.
Carrie’s fingers weathered and thickened as they aged. Wrinkles and spots and wear and tear appeared as her manicured nails returned.
Carrie felt a tickle in her throat and she cleared it making an odd noise of coughing and “Hmmm”
The hum dropped in octave as it came out; her juvenile sounding voice would be no more.
Daisy felt the same tickle and made a gulping sound already ringing out higher. They looked at each other and simultaneously said “Got your voice!”
Carrie was now the deeper of the two. Mature and confident sounding compared to Daisy’s higher and less sophisticated sound.
Carrie’s long, frizzy, unmanageable hair started to tame itself back again. A reddish hue darkened it as it pulled up higher and thicker, restyling into her conservative and professional hairdo. Her facial features began to mature. The faint freckles left again as wrinkles and lines replaced them. Her chin rounded, her cheeks dropped and slipped outward.
Carrie’s nose grew wider, her eyes narrowed and lightened from brown to green and she felt an honest sense of relief as her lips plumped and a popping announced that her braces were leaving her.
She felt a release of pressure as the wires vanished. The brackets and bands followed and her own straight white teeth returned to her.
Carrie, was Carrie again.
Daisy had felt her own conservative and tamed hair go wild once again. It lightened as it grew out long and straight to between her shoulder blades, the frizz just coming naturally.
Her chin went to a point as her lines vanished on her rejuvenating face. Her features lost maturity as her nose shrank and her cheeks rounded and popped out high. Elasticity returned to her skin as her eyes widened and darkened. Her eyebrows and lashes thinned as did her lips.
She felt her teeth shrink and shift, going smaller and crooked before the bands wrapped their anchors around her back teeth. The brackets slapped into place and the wires wove in, tightening back down inside her mouth.
Daisy, was back to being Daisy.
Carrie laughed as she slapped at her returned body then she rushed forward and hugged her niece tight.
Daisy giggled; her tiny body shaking in her Aunt’s grasp “That was amazing” she said shakily. “I was really you”
“I was really you. We’ll always be connected from now on” Carrie said “Nothing can break the bonds we made this week experiencing each other’s lives from the inside out. Part of me will always be you and part of you will always be me”
Daisy was speechless. The enormity of what they had just done was coming down on her hard. A few tears welled up in her eyes “Do…do you think we could maybe do it again sometime?”
“Of course! Honey I would love nothing more than to swap with you again!” Carrie said “But…I think maybe a more tangible treat should be in store for you: You are now my mani/pedi buddy. Every time I make an appointment; it’ll be for two. Got to keep those super cute toes of yours in good shape”
Daisy nodded and giggled “It’s a date!”
