EVENTUALLY

As a Catholic, you don't believe in the kind of supernatural abilities that Avalon possess. You see the cards and you laugh. You turn a blind eye to the palm readings. You either focus on solid hard facts or solid Catholic faith.

"The answer to the question you cannot say out loud is yes."

Then you meet a middle-aged blonde with a harsh brooklyn accent six weeks after you undergo a serious brain surgery and an after-coma. And the blonde can tell you everything about yourself.

She tells you you once shot a clown on an ice cream truck.

She tells you what kind of socks you like to wear before you can remember it yourself.

She tells you how you once hated the group of forensic anthropologists.

She tells you how much you love your partner.

She tells you that you dreamed of marrying your partner and having a child with your partner, only to wake up and find that your partner is still only your partner.

Then she tells you that your partner is in grave danger. And you run back to find her lying on the ground with a sharp metal object in her arm. She's shaking and looking around wildly and in seconds, you're on the floor with her, telling her you won't going anywhere, promising you've got her.

"I'm right here, babe."

You kiss her forehead. She doesn't notice because she is in too much pain. But the moment your lips touch her hair, you remember something else about your life pre-coma.

These feelings were always there, always brewing behind your brown eyes and tough-guy act and your flashy belt buckle.

"Reason is only the top layer. Under there, you're just as crazy as i am."

And you grudgingly realize that Avalon is no normal psychic. She was sent to you for this exact purpose; to rid your mind of the fear that your love is a simple after-effect of murky dreams. if God wants her to talk, you'll have to listen. And you want to listen.

When it's time for her to leave, you wish she could stay a little longer. But you smile and walk into your office, your partner asking after you to explain what your new friend left you with.

"It all works out eventually."

You hope she's right.
