**109.** Patty walks ahead, checking a shopping list on her phone.
**110.** Sophia lags behind, scrolling through texts, her flip flops “clop” on the tile floor.
**111.** Patty turns around, exasperated.
**112.** “Dammit Sophia! You need to be watching your sisters, you’re 22 years old for fuck’s sake!”
**113.** Sophia groans, rolling her eyes.
**114.** “Mom, they don’t need babysitting. Lighten up, I’m not a kid.”
**115.** Patty’s nostrils flare.
**116.** Chloe and Lily exchange glances.
**117.** Sophia sighs, flipping her sunglasses up higher on her head.
**118.** She mutters under her breath as she wanders to the next aisle, “Why can’t she just chill out? Like Lily’s literally almost as old as me.”
**119.** She clip clops into the clearance toy aisle, just as Oliver is panicking.
**120.** Patty’s “mom style” clothing makes her look effortlessly chic but distinctly adult: high-waisted beige linen pants, white blouse with blue flowers, tan platform wedge heels.
**121.** Her jewelry (again):
**122.** 1. Gold hoop earrings.
**123.** 2. Silver heart locket necklace.
**124.** 3. Emerald tennis bracelet.

**127.** 6. Turquoise stone pendant.
**128.** 7. Rose gold watch.
**129.** Patty yells, “Sophia! Get back here RIGHT NOW!”
**130.** The argument gets heated:
**131.** 1. “I told you to watch your sisters!”
**132.** 2. “Mom, Lily is seventeen, she’s fine.”
**133.** 3. “That’s NOT the point. You’re responsible!”
**134.** 4. “Then stop pretending I’m still fifteen!”
**135.** 5. “Attitude. That’s what I’m talking about.”
**136.** 6. “I’m literally not doing anything wrong.”
**137.** 7. “You wandered off!”
**138.** 8. “To get away from your nagging.”
**139.** 9. “This is exactly why I don’t take you out.”
**140.** 10. “Then don’t. I can drive myself.”
**141.** 11. “Smart mouth. Keep it up.”
**142.** 12. “You act like a dictator.”
**143.** 13. “I wouldn’t have to if you acted your age.”
**144.** 14. “You never let me.”
**145.** 15. “Did you just talk back to me?”
**146.** 16. “I have a right to. I’m not a child.”
**147.** 17. “You’re my daughter and you’ll do as you’re told!”
**148.** 18. “Yeah, okay, whatever.”
**149.** 19. “Don’t you DARE walk away from me!”
**150.** 20. “Watch me.”
**151.** Sophia slams a plastic toy truck down on the linoleum.
**152.** “I’m leaving,” she snaps.
**153.** Patty shouts, hand on her hip, lining herself perfectly in front of Oliver’s invisible form:
**154.** “Hold up, little girl! Who do you think you’re talking to?”
**155.** In that exact moment, Oliver’s vision goes black.
**156.** His hearing fades away.
**157.** He is floating in nothingness, lost, disoriented.
**158.** Images swirl—he remembers his hand on his hip, like Patty just did.
**159.** Suddenly, color and sound slowly return.
**160.** Oliver feels strange, totally weird.
**161.** He’s standing exactly where Patty was, resting a hand on his hip.
**162.** The sensation is entirely new—his clothes feel odd, his shoes are different, and his viewpoint is taller.
**163.** He hears yelling.
**164.** “Why are you just standing there and staring at me like that, Mom?”
**165.** Sophia is glaring at him.
**166.** Oliver tries to speak, but his voice comes out deeper, tinged with an unfamiliar accent.
**167.** Sophia snaps, louder:
**168.** “Are you gonna say something or keep judging me with that look?”
**169.** Oliver is confused, trembling inside.
**170.** He glances around; the store seems bigger from this vantage.
**171.** Chloe is walking past with Lily, both rolling their eyes.
**172.** Sophia folds her arms across her chest, waiting.
**173.** Oliver looks down at himself.
**174.** Where his skinny arms and light-up shoes should be, he now sees Patty’s linen pants, floral blouse, and platform wedge heels.
**175.** His hand—delicate, manicured, adorned with Patty’s rings—rests on his hip.
**176.** Oliver’s heart races.
**177.** He tries to step forward, wobbling awkwardly in heels that feel alien.
**178.** Still feeling weird inside, he stumbles toward the fitting room area where there’s a mirror.
**179.** He grips racks for balance, purse swinging from his arm—the floral tote now light in his hold.
**180.** Sophia and her sisters trail behind, arguing louder.
**181.** Oliver reaches the mirror, turns toward the glass.
**182.** He closes his unfamiliar eyes, hoping it’s not true.
**183.** Heart pounding, he opens them.
**184.** His reflection is not a nine-year-old boy, but Patty Green, 45, dressed in mom-chic, jewelry sparkling, hair curled perfectly.
**185.** Oliver touches his own cheek in awe and terror.
**186.** He tries to speak but only Patty’s voice comes out.
**187.** Sophia sighs, “Mom, are you alright? You’re acting weirder than usual.”
