i wonder how many miles i've fallen by this time?

To My Dear Soulmate,

Now, I know we aren't aware we are soulmates yet but that doesn't bother me. Still, I feel I must share with you just how long you've been on my mind...or in my hands, I should say.

About two years ago, I went and hand my palm read. After refusing to touch my hands because of a "dark force detrimental to others and not" me, the palm reader said she could clearly see I had a soulmate. She went on to tell me that, at that time in my life, I was not aware of this person, nor were they aware of me. She said that, once united, this person and I would share a deep connection.

Then, I went to another palm reader who told me that she saw one person in my life sticking out more than most. She told me this person would be an excellent friend to me and we would work well together because of our understanding for one another.

The third time I went and had my palm read was a little less reliable than the previous two times. A woman on the street in Venice claimed to read palms and, for five dollars, I let her take a look at my hands. She flat out asked me who you were and was taken aback by my lack of ability to give you a name.

And then the fourth time I went, she gave me details about you. She told me you and I know each other- that the only thing keeping us separate is purely emotional and mental. She told me the color of your eyes, the first letter of your name, your heritage, and that, to me, something sets you apart from everyone else. Forgive me for leaving the details out, but I am reluctant to put anything on here that anyone might identify with. I would hate to run the risk of anyone coming to any conclusions based on the lines in my hand. Instead, I just wanted to let you know that, whoever you are, you are in my hands and when we are aware we are soulmates, you owe me the equivalent of whatever I've paid to listen to four times now.

Love, Stephanie Kate.
