"Well, I could have used a warning that my sister would be turned into a werewolf," Ruby replied. It hadn't occured to her that the man didn't know who she was. She assumed, by now, that everyone knew who she was and what had happened to her sister.

The truth was that Ruby's fascination with Divination had begun sometime after Topaz had been turned. She had been in a bad place mentally and the notion of being able to predict something good in her life had drawn her to the tarot art. It had been addictive. Whenever she got a positive reading, Ruby was filled with hope that something good would happen in her life.
