“Happiest couple I ever saw, apart from you and Clark.”

You’re honest, always. Not everyone appreciates that, but you refuse to lie. Lying is for scumbags and butterfly wannabes, not for professionals like yourself. Clients prefer people they can trust, psychics who take the craft seriously and never tell a fib. In fact, you pride yourself on your professional honesty.

So you mean it one-hundred percent.

But your new neighbor is a bit of a tough nut to crack, which is fine. You’ve always liked a challenge. You’re not so happy with the way she doesn’t look as if she’s taking you seriously. But whatever, fine, not everyone can accept the spiritual world. But what you really don’t like is the look she gives you, the one that says she thinks you’re making things up.

Really? Why tell a lie, especially this one? Everyone knows Lois and Clark love each other. When he’s around, the vibrational energies of the entire building pulse with an aura of once-in-a-lifetime love. Even people less talented than yourself can tell they’ve got a unique love all their own. Why, you’ve never seen a couple who can finish so many of each other’s sentences, or two people who touch each other so casually, so meaningfully, and so frequently.

Oh, right. You forgot. They’re supposedly ‘broken’ up.’ You suppose Lois is probably a bit skeptical because she and Clark are just going through a bit of a rough patch. Ha! As if working together and laughing together and staring longingly at each other are the norm for breakups. Trust you, you’ve been through a few in your time, and even that one time you and the Himalayan monk decided to just be friends, you were barely civil for the few weeks you were stuck in that monastery. Ugh. You still haven’t gotten over their excuse for showers in that place--your hair will probably never recover.

But that’s beside the point.

You know Lois is one of those non-believers-who-really-believes-but-won’t-admit-it, probably because of all the crazy things she’s been through--really, her mind is enough to throw your psychic energy into overdrive every time you see her, and people call you crazy. So, anyway, you don’t mind that she’s skeptical.

You could tell her that by this time tomorrow--or is it next week? well, sometime soon, anyway--she and Clark will be happy as two peas in a pod. Assuming peas are actually happy in their pod, which seeing how they keep themselves spaced out and they’re so cramped, they might not be. Well, anyway, she and Clark will be as happy as Benjamin Franklin flying a kite.

Too bad she won’t listen to you. You’ve learned by now that people come along at their own pace, so you decide you better add something extra to make yourself seem honest. Trustworthy.

“Most of the time,” you say, and that’s honest too. You just wish Lois would believe that ‘most of the time’ is very soon.

Ah, well, at least watching their aural fireworks is entertaining.

Smiling to yourself, you bid Lois farewell and head up to the fifth floor--poor Mrs. Hobowitz has been having such trouble with her TV and you know just how to help her in time for that show about the witch to come on.

You’re so glad you moved here. There are so many people in need for you to help.
