Quick thinking.

"Remember, I love you."
All I can hear is his stupid fucking voice. We haven't spoken in weeks, & quite soon it will be a month...I don't undersyand anymore.
"Aurora?" My sweet roommate has been talking to me for af least five minutes, & I just realize I
Didn't hear anything she said. "I'm sorry, I wasn't listening to you. Please tell me the gist of thst conversation."
"Well it's really hard to contain my excitement! We are about to come into a beautiful situation full of opportunity." He hesitates and his face twists into concentration, solemnly looking out the window. /how do I tell her we are about to do business with the man who broke her heart? Should I back down? But we desperately need money./
I touched his shoulder lightly & said, "Dom. Look at me. It's gonna be okay. What is this blesseD opportunity?"

"We are going to cast a spell for Lana."
I couldn't help it, my face twisted into distaste. Lana is my ex boyfriends new girlfriend. But I straightened up & said, "what would this spell entail sweetie?" Beaming a smile.
/ we are going to cast a spell on lanas bedroom- and more specifically her bed. She's having trouble pleasing him. Do I have to tell her that?/
I smiled,p through my immediate reaction of thinking what ingredients I was going to buy. What a delicious opportunity. LAna has invited me to further dictate her life & that Is exactly wHat I plan to do...
"how much is she paying?"
"$2000, and she is paying for all of needed ingredients separately." Even better.
"Let's go Dom. You're right, this is a one in a lifetime chance."
I put my knife in my purse, took a piece of an anxiety pill, & painted some eyeliner onto my eyelids.
