Megan greets you, taller, but only barely. You have some other things in mind.

When you open the door, you can’ help but be… Underwhelmed. You knew that she would be about an inch taller, but you forgot what that would mean practically. Even barefooted as Megan came through the door you realized you are barely looking up at her as she takes her shoes off before coming to stand the exact same height as your 5’ 10”.

“Can you believe I’m an inch taller?!” Megan said excitedly. I wonder if this will keep going... It would be great for me this season.

“Yah, that’s uhm…crazy” you stutter, still processing what happened.

“So how’d you realize you were taller?” you ask

“It’s hard to say – I woke up this morning with my legs feeling sore and my whole body just feeling different”. I had a had a strange feeling standing up that everything was just a bit off, and all of my clothes were just a tad tight, so I decided to stand against the wall where my parents used to measure my height and sure enough I was exactly an inch taller than the last mark.” Megan responded, thinking back to earlier this morning and looking hopeful.

“So anywho – Megan said looking you in the eyes – after my recent growth spurt, I’m starving. What do you have in the kitchen?”

“I dunno – let’s find out” you respond.

As Megan turns around you realize a good portion of her height must have gone to her legs. She’s wearing her normal “athleisure” attire which is black sport shorts and crop top. As you follow her into your kitchen you can see that while you are the same height, her hips are a bit higher than yours, meaning she has longer legs and a shorter torso. Just watching her skinny hips sway back and forth slightly is getting you excited. That’s when you remember the stone in your pocket.

Megan had always been good looking, and now that she was your same height you thought even more so, but as a young woman she hadn’t yet developed many features. Her body has always been lithe and strong from playing basketball, but you could change that. Her skinny features could become much more.

You remember the words of your growth spurt wish…it doesn’t have to be just height that increase.
