Oh, dearie me!

Your heart pounded against your chest as you saw the woman before you. She was stunning, easily having been a middle before she ended up in this place with you. You could feel the dread welling up within you at the thought that she would be stuck for eternity as your soulmate.

Before death, you assumed you would never have a soulmate, no one would want to be with you, you were far to socially awkward and terrified of all to do with other people but here you were now dead stood before a gorgeous woman that was meant to be your soulmate. You struggled to talk to people in general let alone when it was someone who took your breath away just at their beauty.

"I'm Tahani," she smiled, holding out a dainty well-manicured hand for you to shake.

"Oh... um...Y/N," you whispered, your cheeks becoming red as you regrettably shook her hand, hating the fact that your hands were sweaty and clammy.

If you weren't already resembling a beetroot, you certainly were when you shook her hand. You wanted to make a good first impression but her seeing you now in an embarrassed state and having touched your damp hand, you doubted she thought much in a positive sense about you.

"It's lovely to meet you," she smiled fondly. "I never imagined that my soulmate would be so adorable. I assumed I would end up with some airhead who didn't want to say or do anything of any worth, but you seem positively charming from the off."

You blink repeatedly, not sure how she could think even slightly positively of you as she had just met you and you seemingly had made a disaster of the exchange so far.

"T-thank you," you stuttered. "Y-you are g-gorgeous."

It sounded stupid to say and did gain a laugh from her. You doubted that she didn't know how stunning she looked but you just hoped that in her heart she was just as beautiful as you doubted you could cope with only someone with a pretty face. As far as you had seen so far, you assumed she was kindhearted and that was hopeful for you.

Tahani leaned in to press her lips gently to your cheek, wrapping her arms around you with a warm embrace.

"I am sure that we are going to get along perfectly well."

"I hope so."
