Night World 6; Soulmate

Av: Lisa Jane Smith



Hannah uppsöker en psykolog efter att ha skrivit lappar hon inte kommer ihåg om en kommande fara. Om inte en ond cirkel blir bruten så kommer hon inte leva till sin 17-års dag som är om bara några veckor. När hon en kväll möter Thierry, lorden över Night World, som påstår att dom är själsfränder och har varit det under de flesta av Hannahs livstider så börjar Hannahs drömma och minnas tillbaka till alla liv hon levt på jorden- alla har innehållt Thierry och alla har slutat med döden innan Hannahs 17-års dag.

""I remember... that we were meant for each other. That we're"- she came up with the words slowly- "soulmates."
"Yes," he whispered. Awe was softening his features, changing his eyes. The desperate sadness that seemed so much a part of them was lightening. [...]
They were supporting each other now, Hannah kneeling on the porch and Thierry holding her with one knee on a step.
Their faces were inches apart. Hannah found herself watching his mouth.
"So what happened?" she whispered.
In the same tone, without moving back, he whispered, "I screwed up."
"Oh." [...]
And now she could feel his warm breath. If she leaned forward just an inch her top lip would touch his bottom lip.
Hannah leaned forward.
"Wait-" he said.
That was a mistake, saying it out loud. It moved his lips against hers, turning it from a touch into a kiss."
