CHAPTER FIVE

PROMPTLY, AT 1:00 PM, Secret’s first client of the day arrived.

Mrs. Harriett Bennington was dressed as if she were attending a formal afternoon tea. She wore a flowered print dress with stockings and sensible heels. Her ensemble was complete with a sunhat and gloves. Her age could have been anywhere from fifty to seventy, but it wasn’t easy to nail down with such a flawless makeup application over perfectly sculpted, plastic facial features.

Once Secret escorted Mrs. Bennington to the reading room, they both sat on opposite sides of the round, cloth-covered table where the readings took place. Since she had never read for Mrs. Bennington before, she let her spider senses reach out to see what they would pick up from the woman. Almost instantly, she hit on the one thing that Mrs. Bennington would do almost anything to keep hidden.

Yes, I will need to tread very carefully with this one, Secret thought.

“What can I do for you today, Mrs. Bennington?” Secret asked her.

“You mean you can’t tell that already?” the woman barked at her. “I would think that as a psychic you would already know things of that nature.”

Oh wonderful! A rude one, Secret thought with dismay. Well, that’s why I work alone. I can always send someone away when they’re rude.

“I ask the question as a courtesy,” Secret replied. “There are many gifts that I possess as well as various services that I offer. I simply ask because I’m not clear as to which ones you’re here to experience.”

Mrs. Bennington sat up straighter in her chair and sniffed disdainfully.

“Just tell me what you see,” she said sharply.

I could scare the hell out of her, thought Secret, and just start talking. Or I could make a show of using the Tarot cards to tell her. Either way, it’s going to be the same.

Making a decision, she picked up her deck of Tarot cards. Shuffling them well, she cut the deck, and started to lay them out. Normally, she would have the client cut them and choose cards from the deck, but she didn’t want this horrible woman’s energy to infiltrate her cards.

“The High Priestess card,” Secret said, as she turned it over. “This card shows that you have secrets, Mrs. Bennington. Some very deep secrets that are soon to be revealed.”

“What exactly does that mean?” the woman huffed.

“Just what I said,” Secret replied. “There’s a secret that you’re holding very tightly to you, and you’ll do almost anything to keep it from coming to light.”

Glancing up at her, Secret was somewhat gratified to see that Mrs. Bennington had turned a bit pale.

Turning over the next card, she saw that it was The Tower.

“This is The Tower,” she said. “It shows that things are going to start crumbling around you sometime very soon. There will be changes in your life that must happen, but they may not happen the way that you had hoped or anticipated. You may even need help in dealing with these changes.”

“I don’t know why I’m even here! I’ve never heard such garbage!”

“I’m sorry you feel that way, Mrs.
