106. She stuck a foot out in puzzled admiration.
107. “Really, Barbara? It's 12 a.m. and you're wearing your wedding sandals which I haven't worn in over 25 years. I would've been 27 years old when I wore them last. Such a naive young woman, I didn't know anything then. I love my French pedicure though. Hopefully, I didn't wake Steven. I want to go back to bed and cuddle with him. Wait, where's my jewelry? Especially my wedding ring?” she said.
108. Barbara thought of Lily’s friend's mother, Sarah.
109. “I can't believe Sarah is only 22 years old and already has a 5-year-old. She should've waited till she was at least 25 years old. My oldest is 25 years old and I had him when I was 25 years old. Steven is out and on his own though,” Barbara said.
110. Barbara walked over to the counter.
111. She started to grab each piece of jewelry.
112. She put back the jewelry in a very detailed way.

116. “Steven got these for me on our 10th anniversary in 1997,” she whispered.
117. 3: She picked up a gold bracelet.
118. “I got this bracelet on Lily’s birth in 2013,” she mused.
119. 4: She picked up her charm necklace.
120. “This necklace has charms from each of our travels,” she said.
121. 5: She lifted her sapphire ring.
122. “A gift from Steven on my 50th birthday,” she smiled.
123. 6: She picked up the diamond-studded anklet.
124. “Steven gave me this anklet on Mother’s Day, 2015,” she noted.
125. 7: She took her ruby toe ring.
126. “This was on our 25th wedding anniversary holiday in 2012,” she reminisced.
127. 8: She picked up a silver brooch.
128. “My mother’s brooch, passed down to me in 1985,” she sighed.

141. 15: Finally, she picked up a diamond hairpin.

146. She chuckled at her reflection.
147. All the while, the real Sarah was sleeping in the bed.

148. Barbara walked into the bedroom.
149. She was confused at seeing someone who looked exactly like her in bed with Steven.
150. She rushed over to Steven’s side.
151. “Steven, honey, wake up! Who is that and why do they look exactly like me? Honey, please wake up,” she yelled.
152. Steven woke up startled.
153. He saw two Barbaras standing in the room.
154. Both women shared the same name.

159. “A blue Honda Civic,” both said at the same time.
160. “My favorite color?” they asked.
161. “Green,” they answered in unison.
162. “Favorite dessert?” they queried.
163. “Chocolate cake,” both replied.

164. They were astonished.
165. They even had the same memories.
166. “What’s going on?” the real Barbara asked.
167. “I don’t know,” Sarah replied.
168. The two Barbaras sat down.
169. They continued to quiz each other.
170. Their answers matched perfectly.

171. “Where did we meet Steven?” they both asked.
172. “At a 1984 concert,” both replied.
173. “Our first pet’s name?” they inquired.
174. “Whiskey,” both answered simultaneously.

175. The real Barbara was bewildered.
176. Sarah, still believing she was Barbara, was confused too.
177. They had to figure out what had happened.
178. “Why do you look just like me?” Barbara asked Sarah.
179. “I don’t know, I remember just getting out of bed,” Sarah replied.
180. Steven rubbed his eyes.
181. He was equally perplexed.

182. The two Barbaras examined each other closely.
183. Every detail matched perfectly.
184. “What do you remember last?” Barbara asked herself.
185. Sarah pondered, “Walking to the kitchen, then here.”
186. “That’s what I remember too,” Barbara said.
187. It was a bizarre situation.

188. They decided to sit and talk more.
189. The answers were always the same.
190. They confirmed their suspicions.
191. Ethan had indeed turned into Barbara.
192. Sarah as Barbara had no memories of being Ethan.
193. The transformation was complete.
194. They had to inform the real Sarah eventually.

195. Steven kept silent, still assimilating the situation.
196. The room was filled with confusion.
197. Both Barbaras sighed deeply.
198. They were living an unfathomable mystery.
199. The dawn approached slowly.
200. A new day of bewilderment awaited them.
