Most of the psychics who tell your fortune are conning you. May or may not be doing it on purpose, mind, but either way they're not tapping into a cosmic whatever. They're picking up what you want to hear based on your reactions and they're feeding 'em back to you.

You came in with bags under your eyes and you keep fidgeting with your wedding ring? Mate, the second you ask me what your future holds, I'll tell you that you need to take a long look at your relationships and figure out if it's serving you or are you serving them, and when you get all teary-eyed because you know in your heart of hearts that the thing's gone sour, I'll say, "They're waiting for you, you know, if you're brave enough to reach out to them."

[ She releases his hand and sits back again. ] And you do all the work for me. I say "they" and you know who "they" are. I don't have to know anything. You paint the picture yourself.
