"Come on, Sean don't you want your fortune told?" Julianna asks, tugging at her brother's sleeve.

"Scram, Jules. There's no way you actually believe in that stuff," he barks back.

"We've seen, Nonna do a bunch of cool things! She's like a real-life wizard!"

"Believe what you want."

Marissa and I watch as they bicker, doing absolutely nothing to stop them. Sean is a good kid and as childish as his mind chooses to view my gift, he'd do anything to keep the smile on Julianna's face.

Julianna stomps away, marching over to where Kordell was seated, not even bothering to try once more.

Then again, she does have two brothers.

"Kordell, what about you? Come get your fortune read with me, I can't do it by myself," she begs.

"Not now, Jules."

I look over at Sean, and we make eye contact. I nod my head towards Julianna and smile, knowing he wouldn't be able to resist.
