Hi. I'm Charlotte Williams, and I can see into your heart.

No, I don't have X-Ray Vision. I can't see the pulsing red organ that keeps you alive.

I can look into your very soul and see HeartStrings, those tiny, magical pieces of Amity that determine your soulmate.

So basically, I'm like the most accurate matchmaker ever.

Nobody knows about this power-or curse, you choose-of mine.

Not my parents.

Not my pets.

Not even my best friend, Justin Smith.

Who am I?

I am Aphrodite's Chosen.

I can look you in the eyes-it could even be from a screen or a magazine-and immediately know whether you're destined to be with a superstar or a grocer.

I know everyone's soulmate.

Except two people's.

Me.

I cannot look at my own shards of Amity.

And Justin.

To tell the truth, I've always been too scared to look at his. We've been best friends since we were two, and I honestly don't want to know his fated love.

It has nothing to do with the fact that I have a tiny little crush on him.

NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT AT ALL.

If I look at his HeartStrings and find out he's meant to be with someone else, it very well could cause me to give up on love entirely.

Take it from me: That's bad.

So, I keep my mouth shut and help my friends out whenever I can.

After all, it is my job.
