@SilviaKrpatova Hey. I've rewritten both chapters.
The opening sentence of Chapter 1: Companions should read, "Xia Yang lay on her back in the lake, her eyes shut against the sun that poured like liquid gold."
If the line reads this: "Xia Yang closed her eyes and relished the solitude of floating on her back in the lake behind her family's house..." then this is the older version and my newest one didn't stick. I've had trouble with saving my latest drafts of this story and ensuring they display my rewritten work.
Chapter 2: Soulmates opening line should read, "Emma!" Xia called out, shaking her head in disbelief, a smile dancing on her lips..."
If this is not said word for word, you should skip reading the story for now. I will upload the most recent iterations in fresh chapters sometime today. :)
