“What's the tenant's name?” Rose asked.
“Celeste Blair.”
| didn’t know why, but her nmade a shiver go up my spine.
Then, the superintendent muttered something about a bracelet.
“Sorry, | didn’t catch that,” | said, my heart slamming against my chest.
The man’s eyes glanced down at my bracelet, and my stomach dropped.
A couple of months ago, Ava and | had brought two gold bracelets with a tiny heart as the charm. They were
identical..
Had this man seen my friend?
After Alexander gave the superintendent a wad of cash, the man gave us directions on how to get to Celeste’s
room, which was on the eighteenth floor.
There was no tto waste, and we immediately took the stairs up the high floor. Even though the stairs took
longer, it was worth it because | didn’t trust any elevator in a building that was as old as this one.
As we neared closer to Celeste’s room, the lighting seemed to dim, and the hair on the back of my neck stood. It

| stepped forward and looked directly into the fortune teller’s eyes. “I was referred by a friend,” | said and flashed
my bracelet that was identical to Ava’s. “I had heard that you were very spiritual.”
*Olivia*
The fortune tellers’ eyes shot down to my bracelet, and | noticed that her eyes widened with recognition.
My pulse quickened as | waited for her response. Had Ava been here, too?
Then, Celeste nodded. “I know of the friend you speak of,” she said in that mystical tone of hers.
My shoulders relaxed slightly with relief. “I’m a friend of Ava’s,” | explained. “I’ve cin person to ask about
the bracelet because | couldn't reach her directly.”
That seemed to spook her because she took a step back and shook her head. “No, Ava isn’t here. And I'm fully

that the girl would be more comfortable if we spoke alone, | gestured to her to followa little bit away, and |
lowered my voice.
“Listen, if you let us in, we can pay you. We can pay a lot,” | muttered.
