older

Sarah bit her lip, a pensive look on her face. "You know, since it's only temporary and we can change things whenever we want, let's go the other direction."

"Older, you mean?" Tom asked.

"Why not? You already wished for me to keep my figure, so let's see what I'd be like at say, 60..." she continued. She looked up at Tom with a mischevious grin. "And let's make it interesting - make me actually be 60. You know, try to make it 'real' so that we can see how our lives would be different."

"Okay..." Tom answered slowly. This wasn't what he expected, and wouldn't be his first choice. But he had asked Sarah what she wanted, so why not go with it. Maybe the wish would surprise him.

Rubbing the coin again he made his wish: "I wish Sarah was 60 years old with everything changing to match her new age - records, friends, etc." He paused for just one second, then quickly added "...except we will still remember the truth." He wasn't sure how this would work but he didn't want to inadvertendly make them forgot the "true" reality.

He looked back to Sarah to see the new Sarah - and he wasn't disappointed. While clearly much older, she was still very attractive.

She walked over to a mirror to look at herself, examining her face and body in detail. "Wow, 20 years older - 30 from how the other wish made me. But not bad, not bad at all..." she muttered to herself with a bemused expression.

Tom heard a beep from Sarah's phone and picked it up to give to her. He glanced down at the text she received and stopped. "This is different..." he blurted out, surprised at the implications of what he read.
