What if you were given a little bracelet that counted down to the exact second you met your soulmate?

23 days, 17 hours, 16 minutes and 4 seconds. I was nervous even though it would be nearly a month before I met my soulmate. I knew that someone out there was looking at the exact same countdown on their wrist. The small bracelet stuck to just below my hand slowly ticked down towards zero. I couldn't wait to see what they looked like.

15 days, 19 hours, 22 minutes and 7 seconds. It was getting closer. I began to think of what I would say, what I would wear. My clock had started a lot lower than my friends, who were quickly becoming annoyed by my constant excitement.

3 days, 4 hours, 37 minutes, 18 seconds. I had a dress hanging in my closet for the big day. I planned to curl my hair. I still worried about what I would say and what he would look like. I could hardly contain my excitement.

0 days, 2 hours, 54 minutes and 49 seconds. The time my clock stopped. Instead of a soulmate I got condolences, counseling and a broken clock.
