In the course of a month, Jacob went from masculine to androgynous leaning masculine to pure androgynous to androgynous leaning feminine. Her (Jacob had requested female pronouns immediately after being diagnosed) voice was high, with just still a hint of throatiness.
And what that throaty voice was saying to John was "Would you like some company in bed tonight?"
"What?" said John, taken aback but happy.
"I'm not finished yet, down there. I'm not ready yet. But I'm so tired of sleeping alone."
John felt an immense relief. "I was so afraid you wouldn't be attracted to men."
Jacob laughed. "That's another thing that's changed."
John scooped her up in his massive arms. "Then yes, I would definitely like some company in bed."
