Mariah walked casually from the conference center, up State Street, to browse the specialty shops. Passing a bookstore and antique shop, a flag displaying a flowery P appeared next. Strains of "The Age of Aquarius" filled the air.

“May I suggest this potion?”

Drops in place, Mariah felt love, joy, and peace envelop her.
