Because Destiny Says So: How Kay lives her life. She gets involved with her co-worker’s fiancé Louis because she believes a tea leaf reading told her she was destined to be with him. The tea leaf reader tells Kay she will end up with a man who has a question mark on his face. When Kay goes to her workplace, her co-worker Cheryl announces her engagement to Louis. Louis happens to have a curl of hair that is positioned next to his forehead mole in such a way to resemble a question mark. Kay interprets this as a sign Louis is the one for her and proceeds to steal him way from Cheryl.

Addled Addict: Sweetie refers to her male friend Bob as her “manager,” but it’s plain to see he is a barely functioning junkie.

Anxiety Dreams: Kay has these about the tree Louis planted in the backyard, and her dark forebodings compel her to uproot the tree, hide it, and claim to Louis that someone else stole it.
