You dream with your soulmate. That's how you learn who you're meant to spend the rest of forever with. It's simple, really, almost too easy. There's no struggle unless your soulmate lives miles upon miles away. At least, that's what usually happens. At first, Ryan thinks he's sick. That he's messed up or broken-- maybe that's why he didn't dream with his soulmate for so long. But then he does, and fuck. Of course his soulmate is a fucking trauma case.
