I handed it to her, and she hummed as she ran her finger over the lines in my hand.

Her lips quirked.

“You have a good handle on your emotions,” she said as she touched a line. “This is your heart line.”

She showed me the line just below my fingers.

“This one is your head line,” she said. “Yours is separated from your life line, meaning you are prone to adventure. And you have a great enthusiasm for life.

“This one is your life line,” she pointed at the next line on my hand. “That circle right there indicates that you may be hospitalized or injured.”

I blinked, surprised. “I haven’t been hospitalized.”

Her eyes held mine for a moment. “You might be.”

I thought about my brother’s hospitalization and cringed.

God, I hoped not.

“This one is your fate line. See how deep and straight it is? That means you’ll be strongly controlled by fate.”

Just then, a man walked through the main court, passing right by Val’s chair and heading toward the main event tent.

My heart literally did a double take when I saw him.

Wow, he was gorgeous.

Tall, strong, and lean.

He wore a pair of tailored black pants, molding perfectly to his body. But not so tight that they didn’t leave just a little bit to the imagination.

He had on black shiny shoes and suspenders. Black suspenders.

Topping the outfit off was a black hat with a red band around the base.

That was it.

No shirt.

He was ripped.

My God was he delicious.

“Looks like fate is sending you a sign.”

I looked back at Val. “Fate’s cruel sometimes. There’s no way that man will be anywhere in my life.”

But it would be cool to dream about, right?
