Julie was drawn to something orange on the shelf. She walked near it and found that it was actually some kind of bundle wrapped in silk that had been dyed orange and yellow, with traces of an ashy gray. It looked like a flame had consumed whatever was wrapped. Julie looked behind her. Nobody was watching, so she pulled the silk off to find a deck of tarot cards.
Running her fingers along the smoothness of the oversized cards, she was overwhelmed with curiosity. She pulled a card from the deck at random: The Empress. The artwork was fascinating. A woman sat in a purple dress, looking pensively at a cluster of flowers. Mountains dotted the landscape behind the woman, who looked remarkably like Julie's mother.
Looking at the card gave Julie a weird feeling. Hurriedly, she put it with the rest of the deck, wrapped it up, and put it back on the shelf before Amy came back in.
