The Soulmate Book

Weekly Contest #265

The Soulmate Book  If a book could tell you who your soulmate is, would you read it? ****************************************************************************** The trees stood proudly, their leaves painted with color as their branches swayed in the wind and their trunks creaked. I pulled my red hair back, tying it into a messy pony-tail. After all these years, I was back. It was a strange feeling.
