"Have you figured it out yet?"

Glancing up at your best friends Gabbie and Dee, you shook your head softly. "Not yet."

"It's not as if we have a timeline to understand what our connection is," Dee reminded the brunette beside her, sending you a comforting smile. "Y/N will find out when she's meant to."

Giving her a weak smile in response, you tried to not feel disheartened. It wasn't easy, though. Everyone around you knew who their soulmate was or what to expect. Gabbie had been colour-blind until she met Aly, and since then, she made sure to point out just what shade everything was around her. Much as she had when you arrived at the coffee shop and relayed how lavender wasn't quite the right colour for your skin tone to glow.

Dee had heard a strange male voice in her head until Archer appeared in her life, and those conversations became out loud ones. Well, except for when they sank into each other's gaze and kept their intimate conversations within their minds. Which happened more often than you liked to admit. They were cute, but you were extremely single, and their connection only heightened that knowledge for you.

It wasn't just your friends who had an understanding of their soulmates. Your parents had been tied by a red string, and your brother had a countdown on his wrist until he met his wife. Your cousin hadn't met her match yet, but she had dreamed of her soulmate for her whole life. Even your neighbour had a mark on his hip that indicated he had someone out there with the same design waiting for him.

You were surrounded by people who had successfully found their match, and you didn't even have a clue what your trigger would be. It didn't matter as a teen, but now with you nearing thirty, well, you were starting to think you'd never get a sign that your soulmate was out there waiting for you.

Your thoughts must have shown on your expression because suddenly a hand landed over yours. "Y/N. He'll come for you."

"Or she. You never know what gender your soulmate is until you meet them," Gabbie added, since Aly was short for Alyssa. It still amused you that Gabbie, who had spent her whole secondary and tertiary curriculum lusting over the jocks and popular guys, was now dating her girlfriend. But you knew true love when you saw it, and they were perfect for one another.

You wanted to whine outlandishly about how unfair the world was.

Dee's eyes flicked to yours, and you could see sympathy rising. Shaking your head to avoid any more pity than you could handle, you raised a hand in protest. "Enough about my lack of a connection. There's more to life than whether or not you have a soulmate."

"You do have one. Don't give up," Dee confirmed, and you nodded dismissively.

"I also have a meeting in twenty minutes with possible recruitments, which is much more pressing than trying to figure if I'm going to start feeling hot flushes if I come too close to my destined one."

Gabbie smirked. "That would be a fun game. You're still in the cold zone. But maybe when he steps into your radius you'll burn deep down."

"Burn in what way?" Dee continued, the ladies sharing a knowing expression that you didn't want to dive headfirst into.
