you can take this and leave. she just wants you to admit you're taking it.
upright — what she sees
you can take this and leave. she just wants you to admit you're taking it. drawn upright, seven of swords speaks of strategy, stealth, what you're sneaking past. she reads it as a turning toward the thing, not away from it — what you're sneaking past made plain.
reversed — what she withholds
the bag is heavy. you're calling it light. reversed, the card turns inward — caught, guilt, self-deception. not a curse. a closed door you keep your own hand on.
in a spread
in the daily veil, seven of swords is the day's temperature — upright it asks you to lean in, reversed it asks what you're bracing against. in a three-card line it colours past, present, or the thing approaching. draw it yourself and she'll read it for you, in your own words.
