"What if your tiny quirks--your being a light sleeper, your sarcasm, the way you make funny voices when you're anxious or scared or sad, what if those are exactly what your soulmate needs? That's the whole soulmate deal, Maya--you're perfect for your soulmate and your soulmate is perfect for you. There's no disappointing anyone."

"For m--your soulmate, if you had to. Would you wait?" She catches herself as soon as she notices her slip, but she's dazed and she isn't focused on her own words as much as she might have been before he'd spoken. He doesn't miss it.
