When Anu woke, she stood and moved with ease. Her body, she realised, was unnoticeable — as young bodies generally are.
After several weeks of being sixty-six-year-old Anna, she had returned to thirty-three-year-old Anu during the night.
Which was just as well, because she and Enlan had decided to go back to Fat Cow Falls that day. Enlan had been feeling very Earthbound and hoped he could connect with Enanika again in the pool. The cliff would be far easier for Anu to navigate than Anna.
“Have you lost something?” Enlan asked when they met at the entrance to the falls.
Anu frowned slightly and tilted her head.
“No. I don’t think so.”
He smiled, waiting. “A few years, maybe.”
She laughed. “Oh. Yes. That. It happened overnight.”
