WHILE WAITING IN THE restaurant line, a woman in her late-twenties, dressed in designer jeans, six-inch heels, bleach-blonde hair teased up to the sky, and a heavily made-up face turned around and smiled. She wore a silver necklace with a large cosmic eye charm that seemed to be staring straight at Sophie.

Sophie couldn’t take her eyes off the woman’s necklace. It both creeped her out and fascinated her. She wondered what it was. But Sophie wasn’t like most Disney-goers, she didn’t just ask complete strangers questions on a regular basis.

“It sees all,” the woman said in a sing-song voice. “All I need to do is consult with the eye, like this,” she flipped the charm to face her. “And I can see what it sees.”

“Oh.” This woman has definitely stepped over the kooky line.

The woman glanced down at the charm and then back up at Sophie. “Do you want to know what it says?”

Sophie didn’t know what to say. Did she want to know what some crackpot stranger saw in an eerie cosmic eye charm? She didn’t think so. But maybe she did. She started to shake her head, but didn’t complete the headshake before the woman told her anyway.

“You need to open up your life force. Your chi is blocked.” She glanced at Ariel and then Ray with a serious look. “You two need to help her. She’s caught in a stream of consciousness not of her own will.”

Ray said to Helga, “How do we help her?”

He reached around Sophie’s back, and she snapped out of her charm stupor, thinking Ray was about to hug her, but instead, he tapped Ariel’s arm. “I’m good. I don’t need help. I’m doing perfectly fine. But thanks so much for your concern.” She pulled Ariel close to her and dared Ray to ask another question with her glare.

Instead, he headed for the sign-in desk.

Helga said, “I’m sorry. I can see you two are very much in love. So, just enjoy your meal.”

Sophie said, “We’re not—”

Helga turned around and whispered under her breath, but still loud enough for Sophie to hear, “Yes you are, but you may not know it. Yet.”

Sophie was glad when Helga and her floppy-haired friend were escorted away to their table.

Ariel tugged on the hem of Sophie’s dress for her aunt to squat down, and then whispered into her ear, “See, Aunt Sophie. Everyone knows you should be with Ray.”

I’m glad Ray didn’t hear any of the conversation. As embarrassing as the entire incident had been, it would have been far worse for Ray to overhear some complete random oddball announce that I’m in love with him! It’s preposterous! I already have a boyfriend.

When Ray’s name was called and they were taken to their
