getting punched.
    “Just tell him you made a mistake and that I’m not here.”
    Gemma raised an eyebrow. “Since when do you lie to Todd?”
    Holly raised an eyebrow before glancing down at her long lean legs.
    “Oh yeah, good point,” her friend conceded. “But perhaps you should explain it now and get it over with?”
    Holly had been thinking the same thing, but had reluctantly dismissed it since it was becoming more and more obvious that she wasn’t going to get very far on her mission if she didn’t have a bulletproof plan. And the only thing worse than not talking to Todd now, was talking to him and screwing the whole thing up even more.
    “I’m sure,” she said firmly. “Now go and tell him...but act casual...and smooth down your blouse, it’s wrinkled up the top.”
    Gemma snorted. “Well at least I know you’re definitely Holly, only she would say something like that at a time like this.”
    Holly sighed as her friend left the room. If only it would be so easy to convince Todd.

    It was no good. No matter how hard Holly tried, she couldn’t hear a word that was being said and unless she wanted to open the bedroom door and risk getting her face punched by the man of her dreams, she was just going to have to wait until Gemma came back.
    She padded back across to the dressing table, just like she used to. Gosh, that was a nice lipstick. It was sort of like a lip-gloss but with a matt finish. Interesting.
    “It’s all done.” Gemma pushed the bedroom door open. “I just told him I’d made a mistake and...Holly, what are you doing?”
    “I’m trying on your lip-gloss. Is it new? Anyway, tell me what else Todd said. Did he... What? Why are you looking at me like that?Is there a problem?” Holly frowned. It wasn’t like Gemma to worry about a bit of makeup.
    “Yes, there’s a problem. I don’t think Tropical Pink Crush really goes with your stubble.”
    “What...? Oh crap.” Holly groaned as she looked in the mirror. This was ridiculous. She could not spend the next two days in Vince Murphy’s body.
    She reached over for the makeup remover and quickly smeared it on her face. Except it wasn’t her face at all. Gone were the brown eyes with the heavy lashes, the pointed chin and the nose that was slightly crooked. And instead, staring back at her was Vince Murphy.
    It was going to take a bit of getting used to. Though, really, if you took away the attitude he wasn’t such a bad looking fellow. Mind you, he could use some sun. But despite his pale face, he had a nice pair of blue eyes and light brown hair that flipped and flopped all over the place. She puckered her lips. Actually, they were quite full weren’t they? Weird she’d never noticed before.
    “Are you okay?” Gemma was looking at her strangely, and Holly realized she’d been checking out her own face. Well Vince’s face. Which was sort of her face since she was the one on the inside. Oh dear, this was getting confusing. She finished wiping the makeup off and quickly turned away from the mirror.
    “Just pretend you didn’t see that,” Holly advised as she sat back down on the bed.
    “It’s forgotten,” Gemma readily agreed. “Anyway, the good news is that Todd seemed to believe I’d made a mistake, which means we can now get down to working out a plan. What should we do first?”
    Holly paused for a minute and rubbed her chin, trying to ignore Vince’s one-day stubble. He could’ve at least shaved for her funeral. “Well the sooner I can find out just how I really died, the sooner I can start convincing everyone of the truth. Especially Todd, so I suppose we’d better start with trying to figure out how those pills got in my system. Mind you, I would’ve quite liked to see myself as a bride as well, but I guess that’s out of the question in this body.”
    “Yes, I don’t think that can do any of us any good.” Gemma blanched as she reached for a diamante-studded diary next to her bed. “So pills it is. We
