“It was a prank,” Rachel confirmed, laughing. “A crazy, elaborate prank. You and Michael joked about swapping lives once, remember? Chloe and I overheard and couldn’t resist.”
“So, none of this was real? I didn’t hit my head and forget?”

“I can’t believe you all,” I said, shaking my head. “But I have to admit… this is one birthday I’ll never forget!”
