After spending another hour with this stupid girl.
After spending all my money on her whims.
Celestine finally stopped.
In front of a fortune teller's stall.
The man sitting there looked goofy as hell. His face was wrinkled beyond recognition. Like the ass of a decayed corpse that had been left in the sun for too long.
Celestine looked at him with sparkling eyes. "You can tell my future, right?"
He just nodded. Slow. Mysterious. Probably rehearsed a thousand times.
Celestine turned to me. "Wanna give it a try?"
"Don't tell me you actually believe in this corpse-looking man."
I gestured at him. "He's just another scammer."
"But we can still try, right? There's no harm!"
"There are many harms."
I held up one finger. "First, we don't have any money left."
Second finger. "And second, what if he says I'll die within a month?"
I shook my head. "I would never believe it, but still. It would haunt me."
She thought for a second.
Or at least, she acted like she was thinking.
