I have never felt anything similar to this before. I have never felt anything similar to this before. This feeling cannot be explained in words. It's as if he's always known her in some way, as if she provides some answer to his very existence, especially to the confusing wounds in the back of his mind. Over the next few days, the boy observes her from a distance throughout the hotel. In the morning, she wears a white dress with floral decorations on the skirt and goes to the buffet with yogurt and peaches. On the tennis court, she politely and pathetically apologizes to her coach in heavily accented English for his backhand. While taking a lonely walk around the golf course, she stops and looks at the cacti and hibiscus.
The feeling that another person is your soul mate, this certainty can come in an instant. There is no need to talk. There is no room for objective knowledge to intervene. Instead, what is important is intuition, a naturally occurring emotion that seems to be even more accurate and worthy of respect because it bypasses the normal functioning of reason.
