In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the fortune teller delivered grave news:
"There's no easy way to tell you this, so I'll just be blunt.
Prepare yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year..
"Visibly shaken, Laura stared at the woman's lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands.
She took a few deep breaths to compose herself and to stop her mind racing. She simply had to know...She met the fortune teller's gaze, steadied her voice and said
"Will I be acquitted..?"
