\u201cCome on now Gr\u00e1inne, give me something good.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not how it works Deirdre. Psychic readings are complex. I can\u2019t control what the universe sends me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah yeah. It\u2019s \u20ac50 per reading. I want to get my money\u2019s worth. Get on with it,\u201d she grabbed Gr\u00e1inne\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat aspect of your life would you like me to look at?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe oul love life if you don\u2019t mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt your age? You must be joking.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cExcuse me I\u2019m still in my prime. I\u2019ll have you know there\u2019s a good few men from the bingo who\u2019d be glancing my way.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright.\u201d Gr\u00e1inne sighed as she closed her eyes and tilted her head back.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell don\u2019t fall asleep. I want my reading.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShhhh.\u201d Gr\u00e1inne furrowed her eyebrows, swayed and gasped. \u201cI\u2019m getting something. He will knock four times. The man you\u2019re meant to be with will knock four times.\u201d She opened her eyes.<\/p>\n
Deirdre smiled. \u201cWell he better last in bed longer than that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh Jesus, God forgive me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAll I\u2019m saying is if he\u2019s meant to be my true love, then he better be carrying a heavy package.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe language coming out of your mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAh you\u2019re no saint now Gr\u00e1inne. I heard about you and Se\u00e1n the butcher. It\u2019s not pork sausages you\u2019re going in to buy every Saturday morning.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow dare you. Throwing around idle gossip like that.\u201d There came four knocks on the door. A handsome, young gentleman came in.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow about that Gr\u00e1inne? Four knocks, and he\u2019s easy on the eyes as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe cheek of you, that\u2019s my son. Keep your dirty paws off him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell I guess I should start calling you Mammy from now on so.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDeirdre I swear to God, you\u2019ve some neck on you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, and guess who\u2019ll be kissing it tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGet out!\u201d<\/p>\n
