He gets into the driver’s seat awkwardly. 157. Sarah looks at him with concern. "Are you okay, Mom?" 158. “I… I can’t drive,” he murmurs. “Can you drive this please?” 159. With a worried frown, Sarah agrees. 160. They get home, and Henry, still adjusting to Linda’s body, stumbles inside. 161. He sits on the couch, very stiff. 162. Sarah, still worried, asks, “Are you okay, Mom?” 163. This question causes Henry's mind to alter permanently. 164. He begins to believe he really is Linda. 165. "How did we get home?" he wonders aloud. 166. “You let me drive,” Sarah responds. 167. Linda (now Henry) gets furious. "You shouldn't be driving! What if something happened?" 168. “Mom, I did everything right…” Sarah tries to explain. 169. Linda cuts her off, "You didn't! Did you check your mirrors properly? Keep a safe distance? Use turn signals early enough? Adjust your seat correctly?" 170. Sarah shakes her head, trying to defend herself. 171. Linda, fuming, adds, “You’re grounded. For a month.” 172. She stands up and walks perfectly in the platform sandals to the mirror. 173. Staring at her reflection, she mutters, “Why did I let you drive? What was I thinking?” 174. “Mom, I’ve been driving for a while,” Sarah quietly responds. 175. “Not long enough,” Linda snaps. 176. She then remembers, “I’ve been driving for 39 years, since I was 16.” 177. She looks back at Sarah condescendingly, “That’s a lot more experience than you have!” 178. “I learned to drive in a 1987 blue Honda Civic, with a manual transmission and a small, four-cylinder engine.” 179. “We had a decent bond, the kind of bond experienced drivers have with their first car.” 180. Still upset, Linda then decides to further punish Sarah. 181. She screams, "I wish you understood how difficult it is to be me!" 182. In an inexplicable surge of anger and frustration, Linda finds herself actually swapping bodies with Sarah. 183. Now Sarah is trapped in Linda’s body, her youthful spirit locked away. 184. Linda, now in Sarah’s body, takes a moment to seethe. 185. She looks around, trying to gather her thoughts. 186. She’s suddenly aware of her own anger, and it scares her. 187. “How do I even begin to handle this?” she whispers. 188. Trapped in her own fury, she stares at her reflection. 189. “I have no right to be this angry at you,” she admits finally. 190. “But I don’t know how to stop it,” she adds, tears brimming her eyes. 191. Sarah, now in Linda’s body, watches silently. 192. “Mom…” she murmurs, her heart aching with regret. 193. Her reflection in the mirror responds, “We needs to figure this out. Together.” 194. Sarah wipes her eyes. “I’m sorry.” 195. Linda, now filled with Sarah's youthful energy, takes a deep breath. 196. “We can fix this. I know we can,” she declares. 197. Reaching out, she touches Sarah’s shoulder. 198. “It’s going to be alright. We’ll find a way. For both our sakes.” 199. Sarah, feeling strange comfort in Linda’s body, nods. 200. They stand together in the small living room. 201. Two souls, swapped and misplaced. 202. They begin to plot their path forward, both unsure and hopeful. 203. “We’ll have to pretend until we figure it out,” Linda suggests. 204. Sarah agrees, feeling a mixture of relief and sadness. 205. “But it’s our secret, no one can know,” warns Linda. 206. “I know,” Sarah replies. 207.

Each night they read a chapter of their family’s tale. 235. They craft a new ending, one filled with hope. 236. “This life... it’s not so bad,” admits Henry. 237. “I suppose not,” Karen smiles. 238.
