Zoya held onto his hands and half-closed her eyes as well, enjoying the exchange between them.<br/><br/>"No, it does not have to be a literal battle, dear. It can simply be something you have to fight for which, from what you are telling me, applies to this work situation you've mentioned." Shaking her head, she inhaled deeply before speaking again. "Sometimes a person asks one question, and gets the answer to something else in their life. I have found that the cards will tell you what is most important for you to know. So, while you may have wished to know more about your love life, the cards say 'no, no, we have something else to talk about, more important that what you want to know'."<br/><br/>Smiling warmly yet again, she continued. "I wish I had better news for you, something more optimistic, but I have to tell you what's there. The good news is that now you know what's going on, and can deal with it before it has a bigger effect on you." Removing her hand to brush her hair back momentarily, she clasped his hand once more. "Again, I can only point to that last card and tell you that you must cut ties completely to gain true freedom from this situation. If you feel she owes you an apology, then you should tell her this, and if she refuses, then get up and walk away. There is nothing more to say in that instance. I hope that helps you somewhat..."<br/><br/>Zoya stroked his fingers with her thumb lightly and met his warm gaze with her own. She enjoyed being able to help people, as she felt this was her true calling in life.
