His Soul-Mark

He would never forget when his soulmate’s name appeared on his arm.

If it had happened when he was a child, then he would be ecstatic about it. However, his soulmate’s name didn’t appear until he was 21.

Dread and shock didn’t even begin to describe what he felt when it appeared on an incredibly rainy February 18th, 1990. Just knowing the immense age-gap is enough to bring a sense of self-loathing. But he couldn’t help the gently tracing of the letters that made up her name.

Jennifer Sinatra Shepard is written in a slightly messy, unique form of cursive writing that he knew would be hers when she becomes older. He can only imagine what his own handwriting looks like on her small arm, and it brought a surge of possessive protectiveness through him at the thought.

A long, heavy sigh escaped his mouth as he pulled his shirt sleeve over his newly acquired soul-mark. He knew Betty would have a LOT of questions once she sees it.
