The photo is bathed in the gold of sunset, their sunglasses glinting. 114. Daniel chokes out, “I don’t want to be my friend’s mom! I don’t want to be girly! She hates video games, and she puts girly things in her ears!” 115. Another photo catches his eye—Lauren’s mother, Henry’s grandmother, in an emerald sundress and a floppy hat, swinging Henry on a park swing. 116. Daniel, panicking, bumps both photos from the dresser, and they fall to the floor with a small clatter. 117. The covers of the bed slip and tangle as he stumbles backward in terror. 118. Trying to escape, he flings himself toward the ensuite bathroom. 119. In his hurry, he knocks a bottle of Lauren’s rose-scented shampoo to the floor, where it splatters. 120.

Reaching the counter, he bumps the stack of tortilla chips and candy, sending snacks tumbling. 125. He slides into the counter, scattering the $20 and the note from Lauren. 126. The note, Daniel notices in horror, now reads, “Pizza money, Henry! —Love, Mom.” 127. Daniel looks down, his feet delicate and strange, and wails, “Noooooooooooo! My feet look so gross and girly!

Daniel bolts up the stairs and bursts into Henry’s room, seized by a desperate idea. 218. He grabs the video game controller, thinking maybe the familiar act will save his memories. 219. He plops down in a beanbag chair, the unfamiliar weight of the bikini strange against his body. 220. The console screen remains dark, taking forever to boot. 221. He nervously drums his long nails against the controller. 222. Cool air swirls beneath his bare legs, reminding him how exposed and adult he feels. 223. Daniel’s memories of game controls, characters, stories begin to flicker and grow dim. 224. He feels time slowing—90 seconds left. 225. “Come on, come on! Please start, please,” he mumbles in an increasingly feminine voice. 226. 60 seconds left—the console logo just appears. 227. He tries not to twist his hands, but his fingers aimlessly toy with the controller cord, flicking hair from his face. 228. His posture shifts, hips tilting, shoulders back, knees together, hands delicately posed. 229. 45 seconds—a wave of care washes over him: a vague concern for Henry’s messy drawing on the wall. 230. “Please, please! Just let me play! Shit! Don’t do this to me!” he cries, his voice now almost indistinguishable from Lauren’s. 231. 25 seconds, thoughts of video games barely linger—he’s more worried the snack mess will stain Lauren’s clean counter. 232. “Start, damn it! Oh my God—no, no, I don’t want to be her!” he sobs, tears streaming down adult cheeks, one hand covering his lips in shock at his own cursing. 233. 10 seconds, controller feels heavier, the buttons unfamiliar. 234. 5 seconds—all he wants is for Dylan to come home. 235. 3 seconds—last flickers of Daniel’s childhood flash by: birthday cakes, racing down slides. 236. 1 second—the game powers on. 237. His mind finally swirls as memory of Daniel fades and new feelings root like vines. 238. She crosses her legs uncross-consciously, looking down at the controller in annoyance. 239. “Ugh, Henry always leaves these things on. Now where did he put my purse?” she mutters, her voice exasperated, brushing her hair back. 240. She stands up and heads to the kitchen to inspect the mess. 241. The purse sits on the counter next to her flip flops and jewelry. 242. She spots the $20, note (“Pizza money, Henry! —Love, Mom”), and a scattered mess of snacks. 243. She pauses, suddenly remembering Dylan was picking her up soon for their anniversary beach date. 244. Warmth floods her chest as she pictures Dylan’s smile and strong arms. 245. “Twenty years together, and that man still makes me blush,” Lauren says aloud, her hand covering her heart. 246. She assumes Dylan made the mess, rolling her eyes. 247. “Dylan! If you made this mess, you know I’m not cleaning up before I leave!” she calls. 248. No answer. 249. “Dylan? Hello? You better not be hiding from me; I swear…” she says louder, a note of nervousness in her voice. 250. She checks Henry’s room—no sign of her son. 251. Her stomach twists with worry. 252. “Lauren, you dork, you didn’t even finish getting dressed before calling out for your husband,” she mutters to herself. 253. She sits at the kitchen island and begins re-adorning herself with her jewelry. 254. She picks up the silver starfish pendant, careful and gentle. 255. 1—She unclasps it, placing it around her neck, the starfish resting just above her collarbone, cool against her skin. 256. She admires it in the hallway mirror, touching the tiny blue gemstone for luck. 257. 2—She spins the silver bangle in her hands, sliding it over her left wrist. 258. The bangle catches the kitchen lights, sparkling with every movement of her narrow hand. 259. 3—She finds and reattaches the aqua-blue stud earrings. 260. Each earring fits perfectly into her pierced lobes, framing her softly curled hair. 261. 4—She reaches down to her left ankle, kneeling awkwardly, and reattaches the shell anklet, arranging it so the teal beads show. 262. There’s just one left—her wedding ring. 263. 5—She searches for it among the mess, spotting it by a tipped can of soda. 264. 1—She picks it up, remembering Dylan’s nervous proposal sixteen years ago. 265. 2—She slides the ring onto her fourth finger, the cool white gold snug. 266. 3—She twists it and sees the tiny engraved initials, “L & D.” 267. 4—A tear blurs her vision as she whispers, “Sixteen years. Lauren, how could you have ever taken this ring off?” 268. 5—Her hand shakes as she relives the moment: age 21, 2015, when they married. 269. 6—The ring glints against her painted nails. 270. 7—She lifts her hand to the sunbeam in the kitchen. 271. 8—A tear drips down, falling onto the purse. 272. 9—She wipes her eyes, annoyed at herself for being so emotional. 273. 10—She kisses the ring, remembering the beach proposal, and sighs, “Stupid Lauren, always crying over diamonds.” 274. She moves to the cabinet above the fridge and pulls out a delicate wine glass and a half-empty bottle of sweet rosé. 275. Pouring herself a glass, she takes a slow, calming sip. 276. The wine soothes her nerves, blending with the faint ocean breeze from the open window. 277. Lauren sits down on the kitchen floor, setting her ornate flip flops in front of her. 278. “These might be the cutest pair I own—aren’t you two just the perfect beach shoes?” she says, grinning at her own silliness. 279. She runs a finger along the rhinestones, laughing softly. 280. “Dylan picked these for me last year in Santa Monica. I never thought purple would feel so me, but I love them,” she says softly, a wistful smile crossing her lips. 281. She picks up the left flip flop and, with a little flourish, starts to slip her left foot in. 282. 1—She lines her painted pink toes to the velvet strap. 283. 2—She angles her ankle and pushes forward. 284. 3—Her arch presses into the cushioned sole; she wiggles her toes. 285. 4—The rhinestones shimmer in the sun. 286. 5—She flattens her heel just right into the padded bed. 287. 6—The starfish-grip pattern tingles against her skin. 288. 7—She flexes her foot, testing the fit until it’s perfect. 289. 8—She checks for any stray sand or lint, brushing one speck away. 290. 9—Her ankle bracelet glints as she rotates her foot. 291. 10—The left flip flop fits just as it always does—snug, soft, beautiful. 292. She repeats with her right foot: 293. 1—She positions her foot into the right flip flop’s velvet strap. 294. 2—Her heel settles naturally. 295. 3—She wiggles her toes, making sure the polish shines. 296. 4—The sole molds to her arches. 297. 5—She taps her heel down, savoring the gentle click. 298. 6—Rhinestones sparkle as sunlight hits the flip flop. 299. 7—She adjusts her shell anklet for balance. 300. 8—The pressure of the starfish grip feels funny on her skin. 301. 9—She sits up straighter, legs out, inspecting for fit, satisfied when everything feels just right. 302. 10—The right flip flop hugs her foot with just the right tension. 303. Lauren stands, grabs her purse, and swings the monogrammed bag over her shoulder. 304. She struts to the hallway mirror, flip flops quietly thudding. 305. Looking down at the turquoise bikini, she asks, “Lauren, you bringing the sunscreen? Towel? Sunglasses? Jewelry? Scarf for the wind? Where’s your phone?” Her face snaps into a serious expression. 306. She glances at her feet, then her reflection and giggles. 307. “These shoes make me feel like I’m four feet tall. Lauren, you are such a shrimp!” she says, sticking out her tongue. 308. With one last touch to her hair, she heads for the front door, heart leaping as she thinks of Dylan. 309. She talks to herself as she stands, peering through the glass. “Mmm, Dylan, just look at those arms and those eyes. I swear, girl, your husband is just… sexy. This bikini better drive him wild.” 310. She starts bouncing on her toes, bubbling with excitement. “Oh my God, he is so attractive, I can barely hold still! Hope this bikini gives him a good peek at my thighs,” she laughs, biting her lip with anticipation. 311. Lauren beams as she opens the front door, sunlight gleaming off her jewelry. 312. She skips down the porch steps, stopping in front of Dylan’s navy blue SUV. 313. He’s already outside, leaning against the door with a lopsided grin, sunglasses perched on his nose. 314. Lauren walks around to the driver’s side window, popping her hip out. 315. She raps her knuckles playfully on the glass. 316. Dylan lowers the window, his grin growing wider. 317. “Don’t you know how to open a door for a lady, handsome?” Lauren quips, winking as she shakes her flip flop playfully. 318. Dylan takes her hand, brings it to his lips, and pulls her close for a sweet, lingering kiss. 319. “You look so sexy tonight. I’ve been looking forward to seeing you all night—can’t wait to play in the water with you, handsome,” Lauren whispers, leaning in for another peck. 320. Dylan laughs and opens the door for her, and she slides in, purse and all, her heart thudding with anticipation. 321. The two drive off toward the golden horizon, eager for their anniversary beach adventure, while the sun glints off Lauren’s jewelry—and somewhere, far away, any memory of Daniel is carried off in the salty breeze. The End.
