Aunt Honey raised an eyebrow. “Well, that got dark real quick.”

I nervously chuckled. “Yeah, well, drama sounds like a normal day in my world. Let’s try another card, please. Give me something good this time.”

“Very well, but I do not control the cards. They control me,” Celestia declared.

I turned the next one over and waited.

Celestia nodded. “Ah, my dear, the Lovers card.”

“Well, butter my biscuit—Grace has hit the jackpot,” Aunt Honey said.

“I’m not familiar with this expression,” Enzo said as he eyed her body with a confused look. “Where is your biscuit located?”

Celestia cleared her throat, trying to regain control of the mystical moment. “May I continue?”

“Of course!” Aunt Honey said, then whispered to Enzo, “We can chat later about my biscuit.” She pointed to Celestia. “You do your thing, girlfriend.”

“Much appreciated,” Celestia said, running her fingers along the card. “It is telling me there is a tale of profound love that is woven into the fabric of your destiny. A love that transcends boundaries and blossoms like the sweetest flower in a hidden garden. Embrace this divine connection, for it holds the promise of the greatest love your heart has yet to know.”

“Okay, much better,” I said with a smile. “What else can you tell me about this love story? Do you know where it takes place?”

Celestia leaned in. “My guidance does not have GPS, but this love will be a grand chapter in your life, a melody that harmonizes with the rhythm of your soul. But it does not come without drama.”

I sighed. “Seriously? More drama?”

“Sounds an awful lot like the Nicholas Sparks novel I’m reading,” Aunt Honey quipped. “Everything was fine and dandy until her house blew up.”

“Be strong, child,” Celestia added.

I pointed to the third card. “Okay, one more.” I flipped it over.

Celestia’s expression shifted. “Ah, the Wheel of Fortune. A turning point in your destiny. A change is coming, my dear, and it appears to be linked to your career. This is where you’ll find fulfillment and do what you were meant to do. Your true destiny.”

“I like the sound of that,” I said, perking up.

Celestia nodded. “But the job does not come without?—”

“Drama,” I said with a nod and a laugh. “Well, thank you for that.” I stood and gestured to the chair. “Honey, looks like it’s your turn.”

“I’m good,” she said. “I wanted to come here for you, Grace, and we’ve got all the information we need. Besides, these boys are itching for more rollercoasters.”

“Yes! Let’s do it!” Renzo said, leading us back outside.

After exiting, the Tuscany Twins and Aunt Honey huddled around the park map, plotting their next adventure.

Oliver slid up to me with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. “Looks like your future will shine bright as a shooting star. Positive changes are on the horizon.”

I snorted. “Positive changes? More like a whirlwind of lies, deceit, and drama.”

Oliver chuckled, leaning in. “But therein lies the adventure, especially since I know you can handle it. Perhaps you and I should have a little chat about . . . things.”

“Things?” I teased with a playful smile. “You’ll have to be more specific, Your Highness.” I knew precisely what he meant.

Oliver leaned closer, his warm breath against my ear, the back of his hand brushing mine. “Let’s just say, if we weren’t surrounded by the prying eyes of the public right now, I’d show you exactly what I mean. Again. And this time, I wouldn’t stop until you begged me.”

My heartbeat quickened and heat rose to my face as I suddenly wished for a private moment. “You’re giving yourself a lot of credit, Mr. Bon Jovi.”

“Is it warranted, though?” he teased.
