The Fortune Teller’s Son

MADAME ROSA

The fortune teller’s shop stood between a laundromat and a hardware store, squeezed into a narrow space that most people passed without noticing. Its front window was crowded with faded velvet curtains, strings of glass beads, and a hand-painted sign that read:

MADAME ROSA — ANSWERS ABOUT LOVE, LIFE, AND THE FUTURE

Claire did not believe in fortune-telling.

Yet on one rainy Saturday afternoon, she found herself standing outside Madame Rosa’s shop with her friend Natalie.
