Halves // H.S //

A world where couples are referred to simply as, "Halves," or, "Completes," terms as binding as a business contract and as permanent as ancient monuments. Single people are classified under Half, signifying they have not been reunited with the one who completes them. Holding hands is the ultimate form of public intimacy, showcasing the matching blemish on the outer side of the pair's hands that marks them as a Complete. Caitlyn is a Half, but she doesn't feel incomplete. She despises the pitying looks and condescending words of advice she is offered when she walks on her own, hands covered carefully with long, baggy sleeves. When she turns seventeen, still alone, she is required by law to attend the Incomplete Social, an event she dreads wholeheartedly. There, she knows she will most probably meet her other Half, and be shackled to him her entire life by order of the revered Law. When she spots the curly-haired man staring at her finally uncovered hands with a possessive leer, she knows her life will change. Harry Styles has always glanced at any female's hands as an immediate instinct, searching desperately for the one he seeks to complete him. When he finds his Half, he immediately wishes to isolate her and make her his, and only his. He just has to locate her. But will claiming his intended's heart and soul prove harder than anticipated? The Law requires her to be with him, but he needs her to love him.
