Quotes
Bill Compton:
May I call on you sometime?
Sookie Stackhouse:
Call on me?
Bill Compton:
Um... may I come and visit with you at your home?
Sookie Stackhouse:
Sure. My grandmother would love to meet you. Oh! That reminds me. Can I talk to you after work? I have a favor to ask you.
Bill Compton:
Of course. After all, I am in your debt.
Sookie Stackhouse:
Not a favor for me, for my grandmother. If, if you'll be up... well, I guess you will be. Would you mind meetin' me around the back of the bar when I get off at... probably around 1:30?

I'd be delighted.

Sookie Stackhouse is repeatedly described as 'Clairvoyant' though her only ability is to hear thought 'Telepathy'. Not sure if this ever comes up in the series proper but both here and at official site for the show the same mistake is made. Clairvoyance is linked to 'seeing' specifically what is not visible by normal means (generally distance or concealment).
Taken from Encarta: Clairvoyance Definition:
seeing what is not normally seen: the supposed ability to perceive things that are usually beyond the range of human senses
Mid-19th century. < French< clairvoyant "clear-sighted"
