The one thing Doug always enjoyed about the annual carnival was the Psychic; Though if you asked Doug, he wouldn't even admit that he wanted a reading or had an interest in the occult, and things of that nature. It was always a different one each year, some famed Madame that would be willing to answer you one question about the future for a minimal fee.
He hadn't ever gotten a reading but he decided that this year he would not worry about what anyone might say and he would get a reading. What can it hurt, he would only be out $5, and knowing how his life usually worked out, no one would even notice to criticize him when he entered the tent.
The Psychic pushed back her long blond hair out of her eyes, watching him intensely. "What is it you want to know about, sir?"
"What do you see for my future love life?"
She smiled and looked into her crystal ball. "You have had bad trouble with love in the past. You don't trust yourself in relationships. Soon you will meet someone who will allow you to drop all your barriers. It won't be easy at first, it will be rocky. But after you allow yourself to not care what people think, the relationship will last many years."
