I'll never forget that time we were out gathering wild mushrooms, and it started raining (torrential downpour, absolutely opaque sheets of rain), and so we quickly found a rabbit hole to hide in. You read my fortune in my palm, told me I that after ten lovers and two husbands I would find my one true love, my heart's desire, and we would travel the world together liberating elephants from the circus and riding into the sunset on them. I laid out the cards for you and saw that you would first find love (in a crowded market square in Burma), and then find fame and fortune as the inventor of a new kind of time machine. When we at last ventured out of the rabbit hole, we found the rain had stopped and night had fallen and the sky was sparkling itself inside out with stars and you said it looked like the world had created itself for us, for the promise of heaven that night in a starry sky. Do you remember?
