The Soulmate- 2

Letitia had always known he was meant to be hers. One look into his eyes and she could tell he was like her, as no other man she had ever encountered was. From the moment they first touched she could feel it like an electric current running through her, the knowledge further heightened by the slow curve of his lips as he turned her way. Gabriel was not like the others.3

And sure enough, a time never came when he cringed away from her, when he narrowed his eyes in disgust and shouted at her, looking at her as if she were a monster. He never pulled away from her as if her touch repulsed him, never tried to leave when her back was turned. Gabriel was quite content to be with her, even after he knew…if anything, he was even more enamored, for he too had feared he was the only one like himself. 4

It was their first dinner that was the test, and Gabriel, as Letitia had hoped, had passed it with flying colors. It was so hard to find a person that was right for you these days…people who enjoyed murdering were common enough if one knew where to look, but finding a person that enjoyed eating their victims too…well, that was more difficult. But in the end she had found her soulmate, and she was ever so happy for it.5
