After deciding to head to the beach, Leah finished getting ready and made the quick drive to a popular beach spot. As she pulled up, Leah saw it was crowded as usual. It took her a while to find both a parking spot. She then spent several minutes looking for a good place to lay down her towel before finding a spot next to a woman who looked to be in her early twenties.
Before she could head towards the water the younger woman addressed her, "Hi ma'am. Sorry to bother you, but could you help me with my sunscreen?"
Leah agreed but as she started applying the sunscreen to the woman's back a strange tingling sensation emanated from the new bathing suit. She shrugged it off and finished her task. When the woman turned around to thank Leah, she did an unsubtle double take.
"Is everything ok?" Leah asked.
"Uh...I thought you looked way older a minute ago," an embarrassed expression immediately formed on her face, "I'm sorry that must have sounded so rude. I must have just been confused."
"No worries. If you excuse me I have to go to the bathroom," Leah responded as she stepped away.
Truthfully she didn't, but Leah just wanted an excuse to leave that odd conversation. As she entered the bathroom, Leah continued to wonder what was up with that woman.
As she caught sight of herself in the mirror, Leah found herself doing the double take. She couldn't believe her eyes, staring back at her was herself from when she was the same age as that woman.
Slowly everything started clicking. The strange claims of returning youth on the website, the tingling sensation when she touched the other woman, and her current appearance. As impossible as it was, the bathing suit must make her equal in age to people she touches. But was it a one way trip? The website only mentioned returning youth after all.
Maybe she should try touching someone older than her. Then again she could always worry about getting back to normal after having some fun.
