On Wednesday Kerry rang Kate and amongst other things told her what she and Michael were planning to do. Kate liked the idea and said “I’ll see if I can get Tom interested as well. He’s been so surly all week”
“What’s his problem?”
“That he is missing out on the footy come Saturday. If he’s going to be like this on Saturday night he won’t be any fun at the dance”
“Really? I‘d swap with him in a second if I could” responded Kerry.
“What did you just say?”
“That I’d swap with Tom if I could”
“Well you could! We now have the means that you could swap with Tom!” Kate was sounding excited. “You and Tom could swap bodies! He would get to attend his footy match and I’d get a willing dance partner, someone who was happy to be there, someone who knew what they were doing on the dance floor”
“Well I’d certainly be willing but do you think Tom would? He was pretty happy to get back to himself on Saturday”
“If it was a choice between going to the football or not he might do it. He now knows that the changes are reversible. I think his concern that he might be stuck in your body, weighed heavily on him last time. Leave it with me, I might be able to convince him”
