closest friend, replied first.“There’s a reunion next week. How about then?”
“I’m in!”

“Me too!”
Everyone agreed.
At the reunion, they asked me what I was about to tell them.
“Rosie, you’re leaving? And you’re marrying someone else?”
“Rosie, you’re breaking up with Grant? Does Grant know that?”
The door opened, and Grant entered, asking, “Know what?”
Everyone looked at each other. Suzie laughed, diverting attention.
“Who got Grant in? Did you draw a card?”
Seeing Grant’s confusion, she explained that Feng was studying fortune telling. Feng appeared with cards.“Everyone draws one!”
I drew a card, and Grant reluctantly joined me. Suzie urged, “Let’s see what they say!”
My card read: Desire leads to disappointment; detachment leads to fulfillment.
I stared at it, finding it true.
Grant drew his card, and then his expression changed.
It said, “Lose the love of your life.”
Like a prophecy, like a curse.
Someone saw it and then put it back to Feng.“Feng, your fortune telling is off. Everyone knows how much Rosie loves Grant. He’ll never lose her.”
My friends all looked awkward. Why wouldn’t he lose me? I was leaving him to marry another
man.
They didn’t know the truth and questioned about the card.
Suddenly, Grant’s phone rang. He answered.
His expression changed and looked at me.“Rosie, let’s go to the hospital!”
