We've never crossed paths before. I've never seen you walking down the street. I don't know the first thing there is to know about you. And the lines of my palm do not reveal nor disclose any untold secrets.Yet, here I am, holding the door as I whisper in your ear:"I'll be right across the street when you're done, my child.
