she asked Mother Superior about being able to date. She said no you have to save yourself for your Lord. Then she asked Genevie if she was still interested in becoming a nun. Genevie answered yes. She didn't have the courage to ask Mother Superior if she had ever dated when she was a teenager.
Mother Superior knew Genevie was getting too curious about the other sex and wouldn't be able to control her much longer. she sent word overseas. the next week a construction crew arrived at the college and started building up the part of the house making sturdier to secure the tower onto the house. it would be given to her as her 20th birthday gift as an inheritance from her family.
Genevie had overheard a couple of her fellow college mates talking about the lively part of New Orleans and one shop in town name Mamma Jezebel's where you could get your fortune done by either hand reading , card reading, even by the crystal ball. the girls was wearing these amulets.
Genevie thought about her family crest. She wanted to see what Mamma Jezebel knew about her family. She copied her family crest this time she painted it. when the paint dried she folded it up and mailed it to Mamma Jezebel's shop.
That Friday while Mother Superior was at a nuns only event in town Genevie had the art studio lights on and used a borrowed mannequin from the prop department's storage room. She sat it up to where any one looking up in the window thought she was there painting.
She caught the bus that stopped nearby the college to go to the side of town where Mamma Jezebel's shop was. She got off of the bus in front of the shop. She went into the shop When she told her who she was and asked her about the family crest.
Mamma Jezebel told her there wasn't any thing she could help her with to get out and never come back, telling her that she was doomed. That frightened Genevie that she ran all of the ten blocks back to college. She ran upstairs to the art studio.
She needed to talk to Sister Sarah but knew she was at the same event as the other nuns. She took the mannequin back to the storage room then she turned off the lights and locked the door behind her. She walked back to the house and went to her room. She felt like she was stranger to even herself.
She didn't like taking a sleep aid but that night she borrowed one from Sister Francis medicine cabinet and went to bed. The next morning she felt better after having a restful night's sleep. She decided that Mamma Jezebel was a phony and didn't want to be bother so close to closing time.
