CHAPTER 12

***SIMON***

Simon stood in front of the mirror in his cabin, studying himself and trying to come to terms with the new him. He wondered how long it would be before he didn’t feel that moment of panic any time he saw his reflection. Letting out a long sigh, he turned away from the mirror and walked over to the closet, hoping to find something that would fit him since he’d shrunk a few inches and added a few pounds to his frame. When it was clear that there was nothing in the closet he could wear, he turned away from the closet in frustration, stomped into the kitchen, and flopped down into a chair, thinking how unfair it all was.

A few minutes later there was a knock on the door, and he sat at the table staring at it, thinking about not answering, not in the mood to see anyone. A second knock propelled him to his feet, and he reluctantly went to answer the door, relieved when he saw Max on the porch. He had a big bundle of clothes in his arms, and when he saw Simon looking through the window at him, he didn’t wait for him to open the door.

“You are not hiding in your cabin all day,” Max said, opening the door and shoving the bundle into his arms. “I’m sure there’s something in here you can wear, but I have to warn you, there are no designer labels in there.”

He looked down at the clothes, then back up at Max, “This sucks, but I’m tired of wearing a robe,” he said, then turned and stomped back to the bedroom to get dressed.

When he came out in the borrowed tee-shirt and shorts, he felt a little more human, “Thanks, none of my other clothes fit anymore,” he said. “Where did you get these?”

“I told the staff a new guest arrived late last night, and his luggage was lost,” Max said, shrugging his shoulders. “We needed a story to explain you being here, and it was the only thing I could think of.”

“And you don’t think they’ll figure it out?” he asked. “I mean, I still sound like me, and Kira recognized me right away. Won’t everyone else?”

“I don’t think so. People see what they expect to see,” Max said. “If we tell the staff that you’re a new guest, they’ll believe it. Some of them will think you seem familiar, but they won’t ever make the connection between the new you and the old one, trust me.”

“I don’t know, Max, it all seems a bit risky,” he said, shaking his head. “Maybe I should just stay in my cabin, you know keep a low profile.”

“Do you really think that’s going to solve your problem?” Max asked, shaking his head. “You can’t hide when things get tough, Simon. You’re going to have to face the world eventually. Personally, if I were you, I’d rather it be here on the island. But the choice is yours.”

“You’re right, I’m just being a big baby,” he said.
