Chapter Fourteen

An Ni felt as if she was floating. Moving through warm clouds on the colorful scarf of a fortune-teller she’d once met when walking the streets. The woman had looked down at her and offered her something most didn’t: a smile filled with kindness. An Ni hadn’t wanted to talk to her—the other kids had always warned to never look a fortune-teller in the eye, or they could curse your soul. But locking eyes had been something she couldn’t tear herself away from, and the woman had finally smiled, breaking the intensity of the moment.

Then she said, “Don’t worry, little one. You’ll know a family’s love one day.”

That was when An Ni knew she was a fake. And she’d been right. A few years had passed, and An Ni had known nothing that could even come close to that prediction. As a matter of fact, she’d known only the opposite of love. She wished she could see the woman again and declare her a fraud, even demand she pay up on her prediction or stop fooling innocent little kids who were dumb enough to cling to hope of something that would never come true.
