Warrior Blue

by Kelsey Kingsley

I wanted to tell him I didn’t believe in soulmates. I wanted to tell him I didn’t believe in souls, period. But every time I resisted, a little voice would speak up somewhere in my head. Or, was it my heart? Wherever it was, that little voice said that there was so much about this world I didn’t know. I sure didn’t know why a thousand accidents had aligned so perfectly to bring me here, to this exact moment. I didn’t know how Audrey could be so different from me, yet somehow balanced me out so well. I didn’t know what allowed Jake to see a person’s color radiating around them, to reveal their innermost secrets. And if I was willing to admit all of those things, I could also admit that I didn’t know if there were soulmates, tethered to each other. Maybe even through a thousand accidents, all aligned so perfectly just to bring them together.
