Chapter Text
“Matt and Karen are chance encounters bringing two lives into transfixing contrast. They’re cups of coffee under colored lights.They’re fists curled and heads held high as hearts beat steady as war drums. They’re pale gold heirlooms and the scarlet of slow-burning rage.They’re warriors on the same quest, who do not recognize the masked figure beside them until the end. They’re the gentleness of lion-hearts made tame by rain-soaked kisses, and made strong by hard-won battles. They’re mosaic pieces falling slowly into place. They’re truths that are painful to touch, realized in each other. They’re pale sunlight cast over winter cityscapes. They’re the steady pull of twin souls coming together and creating something new.”

"Soulmate: A person with whom you have an immediate connection the moment you meet — a connection so strong that you are drawn to them in a way you have never experienced before. As this connection develops over time, you experience a love so deep, strong and complex, that you begin to doubt that you have ever truly loved anyone prior. Your soulmate understands and connects with you in every way and on every level, which brings a sense of peace, calmness and happiness when you are around them. And when you are not around them, you are all that much more aware of the harshness of life, and how bonding with another person in this way is the most significant and satisfying thing you will experience in your lifetime. You are also all that much aware of the beauty in life, because you have been given a great gift and will always be thankful."

“I love the way her eyes spark when we're talking or when she's telling me something she wants me to know, the way she mouths the words herself when she's reading and concentrating, the way she looks at me as if there's only me, as if she can past the flesh and bone and bullshit right into the me that's there, the one I don't even see myself.”
