11 Myriad Circle
Madame Lunette Forrel gestured the couple to sit.
“You are seeking compassion for a dying loved one. The future.”
“How did you…”
“Shh,” she placed a finger to her lips.

Madame Lunette finished and presented them with the bill.
“Do you take credit?”
“I will get my credit reader,” the gold bangles on the velvet red curtains jangled as she exited.
The couple gave each other a look before bolting out the door and running through an alley.
