Her eyes caressed me. “How did you know?”

“I’m psychic,”

“I believe you are.” Her hand came across the table to rest on mine.

“Thanks.”

She took it, and I fumbled around in the package with my forefinger.

“I believe I took the last one,” she said.

I shook the package, grinned, crushed it, said, “That’s all right. I’ll get more.”
