What if you had always known when you were going to meet your soulmate? What if you never wanted to know, what if you just wanted to feel. This is the story of Gracelynn, in a world much different than our own. Everything is planned out by the second, even when you were going to meet your soulmate. Gracelynn never wanted to know, her mom made her get the armband, but the minute they got home she covered it up. She never looked at it once, until one day she woke up and the covering was gone. She knew it was her mother, but she couldn't undo what had already been done. She would just have to know.

In a world where the name of your soulmate burns on your skin on the night of your 18th birthday, Minna wanted nothing but to feel the blinding pain everyone around her had described to be nothing short of something continuously stabbing your chest with a hot searing knife. It wasn't like she was craving the pain, no. She's no masochist. What she wanted was to know that somewhere, someone on Earth was destined to be with her. She wanted to look in the mirror and see a name engraved on her chest like it had always meant to be written there for everyone to see. Her 18th birthday came and go, but there wasn't the smallest hint of pain on her chest. No trace of even a single stroke of someone's name on her pale chest. There was nothing.
