Soulmates


You grew up in the same small town in rural Tennessee.  Your Dad was the town dentist and both her parents worked at a manufacturing plant just outside of town.  Growing up, you went to the same elementary school and your Dad cleaned her teeth while your Mom lead the choir at Church and taught her to sing.  Even as a child you noticed her from the pews, the beautiful girl who always wore scarves from around the world.  But she was three years older, so your paths rarely crossed.  You should have been two ships passing in the night.

In high school, a fire forced your family of six away from the little town in which you were born, to a neighboring city.  You attended the private high school while she graduated from your public school rival and went away to a state college.

It was at a Christmas party, after your sophomore year at university when you saw her again.  She was at a party at one of your friend’s houses and had a wrap in her hair… a scarf.  A high school buddy told you to buzz off because she was dating your childhood friend, but you knew they were no good for each other so you swept in. 

You were spellbound with where she’d been.  She studied French in college and had spent the last few years in Paris, then French Africa, and Asia.  You simply had to know more.  By the end of the night, her old boyfriend had left her in tears with a new girl and you took her out for a milkshake to cheer her up.  You would have died for a kiss, but you knew the timing wasn’t right, so you settled for conversation and told her to keep in touch.  She called you the day you got back to school.

The next few years you did long distance, back and forth between the small town you’d grown up in, where she took a teaching position, and your university.  After you finished, you moved back home to be with her.
