I must look crazy. My hair is wild from running my hands through it so many times, my jacket hardly hides the fact that I’m wearing my pajamas, and its 2:30 in the morning and I’m standing in front of Madame Juliet’s shop clutching my California acceptance letters and my “feelings” book. Yes, I actually labeled the book that. What am I doing?!

She answered the phone on the first ring as if she was expecting my call. Well, she is a psychic, maybe she was. Her directions were to come over immediately and I hardly paused for station identification as I grabbed my things and snuck out of my house as quickly and quietly as my adrenaline would allow.

I didn’t even have to knock she opened the door just enough for me to hurry into the dark waiting room. We went right to her “office,” aka the kitchen, without a word and we both took a seat at the table. I’m exhausted but my eyes are wide with excitement. I keep thinking about what my dad had told me and after hours of deliberation I knew that I needed to talk to her. I was a woman obsessed and I needed to know that I wasn’t crazy.

Madame Juliet: “You look a little crazy, Spencer.”

Thanks.

Spencer: “I feel a lot crazy! I don’t know what I’m doing. This is nuts!”

Madame Juliet: “It’s okay. I’m not surprised by the way you’re acting. I’m sure anyone in your situation would react similarly.”

It’s 2:30 in the morning and I look like I’ve been fighting a battle, Madame Juliet on the other hand looks like she has just gotten back from the club. She is wearing a sequence pink strapless top, her trademarked rip jeans, Marti Graz beads, and a fedora topping off her bright red hair. The woman is seventy plus…I ask you!?

Madame Juliet: “Okay, what did we find out?”

Spencer: “Tonight my father told me that my family was going to move to L.A a few years ago! After some coaxing my mom finally told me the whole story. The dizzy spells, the weird dreams, all of that started the exact day she got the call about a job offer there! Only she never actually got the call. And by the time she inquired about the job, it was already filled!” I don’t think I took one breath during my little rant.
