“Hey, gorgeous,” Wally says, “you think about that date?”

He gives you the widest grin he can. You don’t like him, you’ve said that for years. That was before you learned you were soulmates. Now, Wally’s scared you hate him. It’s not his fault the universe decided your souls were bound!

“I bet you could like me if you gave me a shot,” he continues, trying to keep his expression from falling. He’s always imagined his soulmate loving him, not this.
