The last person I wanted to see was Dr Meadows I thought she&039;d been so eager to help Brandon find a cure for being a olf, only to discover that she&039;d been planning to exploit his condition But Ivy and Abby were so excited to get their fortunes told again and reveal the whereabouts ofht be ultrabusy," I said as we reached the storefront Many cars were parked at the meters; ere lucky to have found a place "It is the weekend"
"Stop being so negative," Ivy said "We can wait"
"Yes, I&039; the door "I can&039;t wait to find out what she has to say about me I oing in," I said "Last tiot stuck in a snowstorm and was met by a pack of wolves"
"It&039;s not supposed to snow and, believe ht," Ivy said in an overly protective tone "You won&039;t be seeing any wolves unless they are in the books she has for sale"
Abby pushedat the holistic merchandise
We wandered around the store, but Dr Meadoasn&039;t at the counter to greet us Instead ere entle ocean surf and the scent of burning incense
"Last ti a basket full of crystal rocks "I wonder what she&039;ll say about ht
"Well, looks like she&039;s busy in the back," I said "Maybe we should go"
"What are you so afraid of? What could be so bad about her telling you you&039;ll marry Nash?" Ivy asked
I wasn&039;t concerned about that - I felt I could choose my own romantic fate
I was afraid Dr Meadoould try to pulean fro a prank when she found out the creature on video was a costumed hoax I wasn&039;t sure how she&039;d react
Ivy held a pair of dangling blue crystal earrings, and Abby was exa amethyst bookends
"I think these are really beautiful," Ivy said, holding her find up to one ear when Dr Meadows cah the store She gave us a quick wave and rang up the other customers&039; purchases When she was finished with thereeted us with an inviting sirls" Dr Meadows bearay hair was in a ponytail and draped over one shoulder Crystals and beaded jewelry tapped together like a wind chi but the best for her customers But I knew better
"Hi, Dr Meadows," Abby exclai her favorite aunt
"Hello, Dr Meadows," Ivy said eagerly
I didn&039;t say anything and pretended to be preoccupied with a book on ive any money to the psychic as too quick to try to expose Brandon and only wound up giving attention to Nash&039;s foolish prank I also ary of sipping her antioxidant tea I wasn&039;t sure what she ht make me reveal the identity of the real olf
But I think this private tea and face time with Dr Meadoas one of the reasons my friends wanted to come in the first place
"What can I do for you today?" the mystic asked
"We came here to see who is Celeste&039;s true love," Abby said "We think we knoho it is, but anted to know your thoughts"
I kneho, but I wasn&039;t giving hts to anyone - especially in front of Dr Meadows
"I&039;d rather not havedone," I told her "I&039; out with," I said "But please feel free to do readings for my friends"
Dr Meadows led us into her inner sanctuet a vibe from me from across the darkened roo will be fine," Dr Meadows said with a gentle tone "Just give me a chance"
"Come on," Abby said "It&039;ll be fun"
"That&039;s e&039;re here," Ivy said
"That&039;s why you came," I mumbled softly so only she could hear
"Fine, dochair while Abby sipped her tea and I bit azed at me but then turned her attention to Ivy Dr Meadows took my friend&039;s hand and closed her eyes She took a deep breath in and exhaled
"There are secrets that you want to know, but you may be the last to find out"
Dr Meadows opened her purple shimmery lids and waited for Ivy&039;s response
"I didn&039;t like that one," Ivy said, acting like her fortune was a pair of designer jeans that didn&039;t fit Dr Meadows didn&039;t offer a uarantee, but that didn&039;t stop Ivy fro," she said "I didn&039;t like that one"
"A reading is a reading," Dr Meadows said "You can take it or leave it"
Ivy was in a huff She frowned like a child
Dr Meado a repeat custoh to know that if Ivy left dissatisfied, it wouldn&039;t be good for business She took her hand again and Ivy&039;s face lit up
Dr Meadows closed her eyes "Friendship is as important to you as love There will be an obstacle before you and a friend, but ultiether"
She turned to Abby "What are you hiding?"
"I&039; behind my back?" Ivy accused
"No!"
"Girls" Dr Meadows tried to appease them
Ivy was still not pleased "I still don&039;t like it, Dr Meadows"
In frustration, Dr Meadows grasped her hand again She closed her eyes and took a deep breath in and out
"You will receive an unexpected gift," the psychic blurted out
It seee from a fortune cookie
Ivy was ecstatic "I knew it! See?"
She rose with a huge smile on her face and stood in front of Abby "A present! I can&039;t wait And it isn&039;t even my birthday!"
Abby returned her tea to the tea service, and Ivy took her seat
Abby happily sat down and Dr Meadows took her hand
"Someone will confide in you and you must be sure to keep their confidence close to your heart"
"Ooh! Juicy!" Abby squealed
Ivy looked perturbed "You better tell me what they say!" Ivy said
"What if it&039;s you who tellsto tell," Ivy said, thinking
Abby was happy with her reading and didn&039;t ask for a second or third
