If a clock could count down to the moment you meet your soul mate, would you want to know?

"You excited?" He asked

"I can hardly stay still!" She replied. She could hear him chuckling on the other side of the phone. His voice was deep when he spoke and she wondered if that's how he sounded in real life. She looked down at her watch . One minute, forty seconds. She bounced in her place.

She could hear the honking of cars on the others end. "Where are you?" She asked

"Taking a walk" he said. Then he gasped

"What?" She asked, worried. Even though they had never officially met, and had never seen a photo of the other, she had come to care for this voice on the other end of the phone. They had begun emailing and soon they had grown very attached to each other.

"I see her" he said in hushed tones "oh, my gosh, I see her"

She knew who he was referring to. His clock counted down only a few seconds before hers. She felt her hopes falter, though she should have known from the beginning that they could never have been together.

"Oh, good!" She said, feigning happiness.

She stepped off the curb and made to cross the road. A loud honk made her head snap around to see a truck racing towards her at full speed. A hand grabbed her frozen body and pulled her back. She clutched the stranger tightly, shivering. The clock on her wrist beeped as she looked up into green eyes.

The boy put his phone to his ear. "Hello" He said and his voice echoed  from the speaker of her phone.
