I was nine, and my father took me to the zoo on our annual father-daughter bonding trip. We were looking at the penguins when a man with a red baseball cap covering his face bumped into my father.
"Sorry," he grunted. I caught a glimpse of brown hair and brown eyes peeking from under his cap before he rushed passed us.
I looked at my dad's hand; he was holding a gold coin with the saying "Don't let anyone change you" engraved on it. It matched the same pendant that my father gave to me on my eighth birthday; I hadn't taken it off since.
"What's that daddy?" I asked. My father shoved the pendant into his pants pocket.
"Look at the polar bears!" My dad exclaimed, distracting me from the pendant. The pendant had never come into my mind the rest of the day.
"Connie," Wyatt is whispering to me as he shakes my shoulders. I slowly lift my head. "The memories again?"
I nod. "Even stronger." Then I realize what triggered the memories in the first place. The coin! I stare at the same coin, resembling the one on my neck, that is laying in my hand. I pull out my necklace that my father gave me.
"A perfect match," Wyatt gasps.
I stare at him in disbelief. "We have to meet Destiny."
