"You've stopped shrinking!" Ash beamed, as he released the tape measure. "You're still five-foot-five. I think it's finally kicking in."
I looked up at Ash, relieved. The last couple of weeks had been a whirlwind, as the triple dose worked through my body, making me ache all over and sleep a lot. Ash's growth had been steady, in height and mass, and I now had to look up at his chin when he stood in front of me, which he did more often than I was comfortable with. I'd just measured him at six feet even.
We'd had to swap clothes, and even his old clothes were a bit too big for me. The shirts had silly designs that I would never buy, and the shorts needed a belt. Meanwhile, my nice button-down shirts had gone from being baggy to fitting him perfectly. His legs almost filled out my shorts better than mine had. And he ate constantly: chicken, vegetables, protein powder, several times a day. I didn't have much of an appetite.
