laptop on Friday at seven- thirty sharp , waiting for Serenity t o begin their session . To her relief , her room mates had all gone out , so she would not be disturbed. S he had told them she was working on a report for work , and locked herself in her room just in case . A few butterflies danced in her stomach as the minutes ticked by. No matter how many times she did this , she still felt a little nervous , but it was all part of the thrill . Finally the IM window popped up .
     
    Serenity: Hi Mel. A ny questions b4 I begin ?
     
    Mel: No, just begin thnx .
     
    Serenity: Ok. I am f eeling hot. S o hot .
     
    There was a long pause and Melanie did not know if she was supposed to reply .
     
    Serenity: Have u been somewhere tropical lately?
     
    She had to think hard for a minute.
     
    Mel: I went the beach a few weeks ago. W as a hot day.
     
    Serenity: That’s what I’m seeing. U are also planning a holid ay soon, somewhere cold, with snow. Correct?
     
    Mel: No .
     
    Serenity: U will be soon, with a couple of girl friends.
     
    Her heart began to sink. There was no way she could afford a holiday to the snow for a long time. Was Serenity a fake like so many of the others?
     
    Mel: C an’t afford a holiday
     
    Serenity: U will co me into a large sum of $ . Is not expected but it will happen soon. This will pay 4 the holiday and quite a bit more.
     
    That was more like it. She had been gett ing very itchy palms lately which meant money was coming her way soon . Maybe Serenity was the real deal after all.
     
    Mel: GR8 . I could use it.
     
    Serenity: I’m seeing a man in your life. T all, blonde hair and blue eyes. Does this make sense?
     
    Melanie’s heart began to pound.
     
    Mel: Yes
     
    She had to be talking about Greg. His hair was technically brown , but it went very light in su mmer, and his hazel eyes could look greenish / blue in certain lights. At 5’6 he was tall. W ell , taller than her.
     
    Serenity: This man likes 2 spend time with family & friends. I see him drinking beer. He play s a sport involving a round ball .
     
    That was Greg to a T . He loved to socialize and he had joined the office softball team a few years ago. He only played one game before he hurt his leg, but it proved he liked sports.
     
    Serenity: You like this man a lot?
     
    Mel: Yes
     
    Oh G od, yes
     
    Serenity: I c there have been a few minor obstacles in your path. True?
     
    She guessed you could call a fiancé a minor obstacle.
     
    Mel: True
     
    Serenity: G uides are saying not 2 worry. U r meant to be together, nothing will stand in your way.
     
    Melanie felt like dancin g around the room with joy. Finally she had found a genuine psychic who knew what she was talking about.
     
    Mel: That’s v good 2 know.
     
    She became even more impressed as the reading conti nued. Serenity could see so much , and she gave her very specific information about her job .
     
    Serenity: I c u working in a job that involves money & handling cash. L ooks l ike customer service . Yes ?
     
    At first Melanie was confused because s he worked as an administration assistant , and her job had nothing to do with money. Then it dawned on her w hat Serenity was picking up on.
     
    Mel: I don’t handle $ , but my cubicle at work faces the payroll department .
     
    Serenity: That’s it . Your office has water views. True?
     
    The park two blocks away had a duck pond that could just be seen from the lunchroom .
     
    Mel: Yes!
     
    Serenity: U do a lot o f typing and filing in your job ?
     
    Mel: Yes : (
     
    Serenity: I sense u are no t completely happy where u r and would like a change.
     
    Hell yes.
     
    Mel: True
     
    Serenity: My guides are telling me there r changes ahead
     
    Woohoo !
     
    Mel: What sort?
     
    Serenity: Looks like a promotion in the sa me company. A lot more money 4 u . A big step up the ladder.
     
    Mel: Wow, I wasn’t expect ing that. Sounds GR8 .
     
    Serenity: One more thing. They said 2 b wary of a person around
