Chapter 66

“Do psychics ever change their mind?” asks Paula.

She is on the phone to the random cousin of the groom from her sister’s wedding, the one who forwarded the car accident video and whose name she hasn’t bothered to remember, which is rude of her.

Paula just wants information, and this cousin, who spoke so gravely about checking in with her clairvoyant before she made a decision, not a hint of cynicism or this-is-all-just-a-bit-of-fun in her voice, is the only one she could think to ask.

“Sometimes,” says the cousin. “Like if your circumstances change. Or if you make a different choice. My clairvoyant shows me different scenarios and it’s up to me to manifest the outcome I want.”

“Right,” says Paula. “It’s just that my baby boy can swim now. So I guess I just wondered if that would change her prediction? Like when you change your diet and get your cholesterol down, your doctor predicts you’ll live longer.”

“My doctor says diet only contributes like around twenty percent of the cholesterol in your blood,” comments the cousin.

“Yes, well, that was just an example, but do you think this psychic would give me a different prediction now that Timmy can swim?”

“Sure,” says the cousin. “It’s possible. Also, my clairvoyant says that sometimes you might just have a different energy on the day. So that changes the prediction.”

Different energy. All this woo-woo language. It’s ridiculous.

But Paula needs to hear it from the lady.

She just has to find her.
