♫ I took the stars from my eyes and then I made a map...And knew that somehow I could find my way back...Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too...So I stayed in the darkness with you...♪

'Soulmates are the one made for you. Platonic, Familial, Romantic, even an animal tie. You always have that one thing or person made just for you. Like the Stars miss the Sun in the morning sky. When you get older and have that invisible string tie you together... then you'll know.'

That's what your Grandma told you when you were little, around 8 or 9. By that time you couldn't wait to have a soulmate. Soulmate bonds appear when you turn 10 and stay with you until you meet that person.

You longed to be wanted, to be yearned. You wanted someone to hold your face and look at you like you put the stars in the sky, with feral need (in which you learned through raging teenage hormones).

Look at you like no one else can fulfill you like she (you also found out later) can. No one would ever be hers like you would. No one could ever worship and service her like you would. Take care of her like you. That she'd never want anyone besides you.

And you'll never want anyone but her.

Dorcas liked the idea of a soulmate, but also was too preoccupied to truly think on what it might be like to have one. Obviously she cares, but it never took up her thoughts. She never was all that interested in knowing who her soulmate is.

Though she did want to know who this mystery woman that was making your heart race was.

Of course, she could feel her soulmate's emotional state and wondered why you were angry this day and sad the next. As every soulmate, but she had more pressing things to do. Designing outfits for Paris Fashion Week, flying out to Italy the next, and going to LA to talk to some bigwig in Beverly Hills.

Fate had other plans.

She met you, her soulmate. It was quite a funny meet-cute, to be completely honest. She was on the streets of London, getting dinner, when you slammed into her. Middle of the street. In a big crowd. And it resulted in her getting (lightly, she downplays later) hit by a man on a scooter.

When you helped her up, that's when you two clicked. Like a stellar collision. You were her soulmate.

365 days ago, she'd known you for less than a day and was ready to murder the mystery woman you wanted.

365 days together and she now knows (to your extreme embarrassment) that you'll never want anyone but her. And she'll never want anyone but you.

"What are you doing, darling?" Dorcas asks sleepily, wiping her tired eyes, as you cook breakfast. She yawns and quickly makes her way behind you, hugging you from behind.
