Summary
“Gina’s mum says that sometimes a soulmate isn’t like a boyfriend or girlfriend. You don’t got to live with him or anything.”
“Yeah...”
“Could be a friend. A posh best friend!” Harry’s smile was missing two teeth these days.
John had nine and half years to Harry’s eight, and that made him just a bit wiser. Just enough to know what people meant when they said those sorts of things. 'Well, her soulname is a woman’s, you understand, but she’s dating a fellow, right and proper. The soulmate’s just a friend. Best friend. You know the type.' John knew the type. He had a teacher at school with another man’s name on his hand.
John read the letters aloud, pointing to each for Harry as he went:
“S H E R L O C K.”
***
John Watson has grown up with a rich man’s name on his hand. Sherlock Holmes has a name so common, it’s practically useless. Follow their lives—step by step—as they both discover how hard Destiny will work to draw true soulmates together.
