   Summary

   Behind her back, Sophie folds up her dance card and slips it into her glove. “Uh, sir, you see I would love to, but I have misplaced my dance card.”
   Sophie holds up her empty hands to show him.
   “Oh,” the gentleman says. “That is… unlucky.”
   There is another male voice from behind her, and a presence of someone on her left side as another gentleman joins them. “Lord Napier, forgive me for interrupting, but I have just found this young lady’s dance card.”
   The new gentleman glances down at a dance card in his hand that is decidedly not the one poking into Sophie’s skin from inside her glove.
   “But, unfortunately, my name is up next.”
   Sophie’s soulmark burns.

   Or: Benedict and Sophie are Soulmates. This should make their lives easier. It does not.
