Miguel was pouring out his third coffee since he'd arrived at the foodcourt an hour or so ago. It was far too early for his meeting with Sunila, yes, but it gave him plenty of time to stand at the big viewing window and look out at the stars without his glasses on or his contacts in and just see them with his own eyes again. He hadn't realized just how much he'd come to accept the infra-red part of the spectrum that he could see as "normal", and the lack of it was one of the things that had bothered him during the whole body-swap thing.
He'd spent at least half an hour standing right up against the window watching the stars and the aurora of the planet below them, only looking away to drink coffee. Then, he'd gone for a walk to the mall and back, gotten another coffee and sat at a table rereading the genetic study his other self had sent him the other day that compared their genetic make-up as both a male and a female. That coffee had vanished soon enough. He'd just started pouring his third when he heard another set of footsteps out in the food court. Not that he'd been on his own in the place the whole time - he'd paid attention every time he'd heard someone approaching, looking round to see who they were. One time, it was Dan, who'd gotten a lot of coffee and then waved over at him before sitting down at the other side of the court to read through something. Miguel could hear him singing quietly to himself as he read whatever it was, but then he'd left while Miguel was looking at some charts in his other self's report.
This time, though, it was the lady who he was here to meet. He smiled as she approached. "Hello, Sunila. I'm Miguel. Would you like a drink?" he asked, and even managed to hold out his hand for her to shake.
