Phil's POV

I wake up and wonder what time it is, I reach for the phone on the bedside table and take it then I hold down the center button.

"What time is it Siri?" I ask still half asleep.

"The time now is 9:36 am."

"What appointments do I have today?" I ask instinctively, then I realize that it did not heard so I press that button again. "What appointments do I have today?"

"On the calendar there is a commitment for 10:00 am, visit."

"True." I murmur. I have a visit for my eyes. I don't understand why do I have to do it, I'm blind anyways, what should I do about it?

"Call Cat." I say and it calls her. Cat lives with me, she helps me with everything and I'm grateful she does it because I certainly can't do it alone.

"Hello?" I hear her voice.

"Can you come here?" I reply.

"I'm doing breakfast, a minute and I'm there." she says and attacks. I throw the phone on the other side of the bed and I get back under the sheets.

"I'm coming," I hear her voice, and the door who opens up. "Good morning."

"Hello Cat." I smile. "What's for breakfast?"

"Brioche and coffee." she says and rests a tray on my legs. "Should I help you?"

"I can do it, thanks." I say and start to eat.

"I know that you don't care, but yesterday I saw my soulmate," she says and I can imagine her smile.

"Tell me." I say, although I don't care but I'm glad to hear someone speaking at me.

"I went to buy something at the store, I felt a pain on my wrist and the timer has stopped."

"Who's the lucky guy?"

"A guy who works there, we hang out too." she says and I feel her hand next to mine. "Sorry, chocolate was on your hand."

"I wonder if I will meet my soulmate." I whisper. Now I literally gave up.

"I could see how much your timer is." she says.

"No. I don't want you to know, I don't even know if I have it, and frankly I don't want to know." I say and I pass her the tray. "I should get dressed, I have a visit soon."

"The doctor called me and said it was postponed in twenty minutes, you can take it easy." she says and I feel that she gets up. "The clothes are on the bedside table, I'll leave you alone?"

"Yes please." I say, and I put myself seated.

"See you later," she closes the door. Then I start to get dressed. It's a little difficult but now it's years that I do it myself, I learned to take a shower, eat, go downstairs and make the bed alone.. Cat helps me just to cook and clean the house.

I place my hand on my wrist and I don't feel anything, I have given up.

The timer works like this: it stops when you see your soulmate. Someone's soulmate has it too, and it stops too.

I don't care.

I'm not afraid of living alone until the end.

When I finish to get dressed I take the stick that I have next to the bed and with a little hard work I go next the stairs, managing to go down without falling. I touch the wall and I recognize the rough wall of the living room, I should find the couch. But I stumble on something and I find myself seated on the ground.

"Oh Phil!" Cat screams and helps me. "How many times have I told you to call me?"

"Excuse me if I wanted to try to do it alone." I say and she doesn't answer. "Take me on the couch."

I'm sitting on the couch and I take the phone.

"Hey, Siri."

"Hey, Phil!"

"Play me some relaxing music."

Dan's POV

"Mom!" I yell and I hope that she hears me. A few seconds later I hear that someone opens the door, it's surely here.

"Yes?" she asks.

"I'm hungry."

"Breakfast is ready, I'll help you." she says and I feel her hand next to mine. "You have a visit soon, you know?"

"I know," I whisper. I forgot it. As soon as I get up I feel the usual shoulder pain.

"It still hurts?" she asks.

"Yes," I reply. I remember the incident and everything that happened that day like it was yesterday, it doesn't seem like I'm blind since two years. I wonder if the drunk who drove that car and killed my brother has already gone to hell.

My mother said that I have a scar on my arm, and she can't see the timer anymore. It's.. broken.

That means that my soulmate's timer is broken too, so we'll meet each other but we'll never know it.
