Not that I blamed Emily for being surprised, but it was too soon to congratulate myself. I didn’t have the film yet.</p><p>I looked down, finding my glass empty. I’d been putting those cocktails away. Another wouldn’t hurt, and I needed something to calm my strained nerves. I waved for the steward and ordered a Champagne cocktail. Miss Pang declined my offer to buy her another drink.</p><p>Using my “<em>mind-reading</em>” ability, I sensed she thought I was trying to get her drunk</p><p>Bull’s-eye, she would be right.</p><p>“And a Monte Cristo,” I added to the steward.</p><p>His foot scuffed the floor, and his gaze wavered, but he didn’t say anything. Behind me, Emily groaned. I’d done it again. Maybe the drink wasn’t a good idea.</p><p>“That’s a ‘Croque monsieur’ that’s dipped in egg and pan-fried.”</p><p>“That we can do, Mademoiselle.” The steward resumed smiling, thinking, “<em>Miss Moneybags will be happy, and I’ll be richer.</em>” Heavy tipping on a luxury <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/cruise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cruise</span></a> like this had its perks.</p><p>“So, the next thing,” I said when the steward was gone, “is I tell your fortune, you’ll doubt me, and then I’ll tell you a few more things to <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/restore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>restore</span></a> your confidence in me.”</p><p>“Okay, read my future.”</p><p>I looked to see if anyone else could hear, then lowered my voice. “The Hindenburg will blow up in New Jersey at the mooring mast. You are not among the survivors.”</p><p>Her face went as blank as the steward’s a few minutes earlier. Then she asked, “I die?”</p><p>At least she wasn’t laughing. “Yes, and the film is destroyed at the same time.”</p><p>Her eyes widened. “So you’re a spy!”</p><p>“If I were a spy, I would have the captain arrest you and confiscate the film. It’s really a harebrained idea to convince you that I can read minds and see the future when I could have you arrested. That’s why I showed you evidence of my sincerity.”</p><p>I jumped as she waved her hand. “<em>My God,</em>” I thought. “<em>She’s going to have me arrested!</em>”</p><p>The steward appeared at her shoulder. “Jack Rose, please,” Miss Pang said. “My friend is paying.”</p><p>“That’s it? You believe me?”</p><p>“Let’s say I don’t disbelieve you. I still don’t know what you want. But given the things I’ve seen…”</p><p>Her statement shifted into a question: ‘Where did I see them?’</p><p>“Heidelberg. But that’s something a spy would know.”</p><p>“True, but for now, I choose to believe you—with reservations.”</p><p>“Well, that was easier than expected.”</p><p>“I could make it harder. What am I thinking?”</p><p>Our drinks arrived, and I waited until the steward was out of earshot.</p><p>“You want to get roaring drunk, find out who I am, and see if I’m any good in bed.”</p><p>Miss Pang choked on her drink, and Emily gave the back of my head a solid smack. But if Miss Pang believed my prediction of her imminent demise, what else could she be thinking?</p><p><a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/TootFic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TootFic</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/MicroFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MicroFiction</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Serial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Serial</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/TimeTravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TimeTravel</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMPrompts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NMPrompts</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMTTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NMTTA</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMV366" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NMV366</span></a></p>
