An old love charm there be of which countless young girls were eager to test the powers. That night, she coerced me into sneaking out to fulfill it. In her most elated manner, she described to me the particulars of this foolish ritual. “Gather we must, these herbs under the glow of the full moon of this New Year . . .” Glancing me way, she took notice of the disinterested expression I wore and promptly became irritated that I not be captivated by her details of the ritual we were supposedly so fortunate to enact. “Aislinn!” she barked. “Engaged in this you should be! This which could prove to be the most fateful moment of your entire life as of yet!” “’Tis sorry I be, Deirdre, I do know how much this does mean to you. I’ll take heed.” “It should mean everything to you, as well, Aislinn. Much as you may think you do not heed this now, someday soon you shall, as marry and have children you will, as all of us will. This is our privileged duty and a blessing it be!”
