Before I Gave Him My Liver, the Mirror Showed Me the Truth

The day before I was supposed to give Joel Walker my liver match.

An older version of myself suddenly appeared in the mirror, and I was overjoyed. I spoke at once.

"Are you me at sixty? Tomorrow, will the match and the surgery afterward go through?"

"Did we get married? Where did we hold the wedding? Was it a boy or a girl?"

The me on the other side of the glass touched her face and laughed at herself.

"The one who actually has liver cancer is Joel's one true love."

"Not only did the surgery succeed, they used the money stolen from you to throw the wedding. Happy. Perfect."
