Chapter 1- A Chance Encounter

Tesni Scott sat down in her seat on the plane. She sat alone since her friends were sitting elsewhere on their flight Disney World trip to Orlando. This trip was what Tesni or Sunni as most people in life called her really needed. As Tesni looked out the plane window at the greys and whites and blacks of the Wasatch mountains of Utah. She wondered if she would ever see them for the colors, they truly were being soul bound she could not see colors till she found her soul mate and at the age of thirty-five she knew her chances were slim. Most soul bound people found each other by twenty-five.

Shaking her head at the thought she already had enough trouble in her life with managing her father's estate he had passed two years ago from brain cancer. With him being a world-famous author, it had taken some time to get everything settled. Most of the estate had gone to her being his only child but her aunt and uncle had tried to make claims on it with no success besides what had been left for them in the will. They had not been happy and had cut contact which was fine with Tesni most people in her life left and she had never really had felt like they were family. The only time she and her dad ever saw them is when they had wanted something mostly money and then they were gone again. They did not visit her father when he had been sick and wanted to see them which had hurt her father. They had come to funeral and asked when the will reading would be and she had told them off and kicked them out.

The trip Disney World and Universal was just what she needed to take her mind off things. She also had been in talks with Ethan Clark about making her father's books into movies. Most pitches had been a half fast attempts not really getting her father's books. But Ethan had really seemed enthusiastic about the books and getting them on the big screen the right way. Ethan Clark was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, He was tall and handsome and had a smile that that would melt any cold heart. He had charm and was humble in the same breath. Her friend Rylan, who was a super fan, had drag her and Jordyn and Addison to see most of his movies which in the most part she had enjoyed. Her friends would flip if they knew she had been talking to him. But she did not want to say anything just in case anything did not happen.

Movement snapped Tesni out of her thoughts and turned to see a striking older woman started sitting next to her. Tesni smiled at the women smiled back. "I think I am in the seat next you," said the women. "If you are 24E then thats you seat!" smiled Tesni pointing to seat beside her. The women put her carry on in the overhead compartment. Then sat down next to Tesni looked over and smiled "Hi I am Claire Logan" putting out her hand out to Tesni. "I am Tesni Scott, but you can call me Sunni whatever you" prefer Tesni replied taking the womens hand shaking it. "Tesni, I have never heard that name before its so pretty." said Claire. "Thank you, my father named me it's Welsh mean warmth of the sun, he always said I was his little ray of sunshine hence my nickname of Sunni" said Tesni quietly with a small frown thinking of her father. Claire noticed her frown. "Are you okay Tesni?" asked Claire "Yes sorry I was just thinking of my dad makes me sad he passed two years ago from brain cancer" Tesni replied. "Oh, I am sorry I understand I lost my husband to cancer as well 15 years ago" said Claire says sadly "I am sure you are a great comfort to your mom" said Claire trying to smile.

Tesni just shakes her head "My mom left when I was three years old, she found her soul bound and never looked back so it was just my dad and me" said Tesni looking at Claire to see a look of shock on her face most people have the same reaction finding out her parents situation. "I haven't seen my mom since I was 18 years old her and her husband don't like a reminder of her life before him" Tesni said "Sorry I shouldn't have shared that most people are shocked to found out a soul bound person having a child with someone who wasn't their soulmate but somehow here I am" smiled Tesni as she raised her matter-of-factly. "It's totally fine I know that being soul bound can be a struggle my eldest son Ethan is soul bound but hasn't found them and he is almost 40 years old Claire said quietly I just want him fully happy I mean he has a job that he loves and is wonderful at, but I know he struggles with anxiety from time to time and it can be lonely doing what he does but I think he will find them soon, My daughter Camille is also soul bound but she found him while in college and they are happily married with two boys" said Claire with a wishful smile.

Tesni was shocked "Wow 40 I thought 35 was a late age to find your soul bound" gasped Tesni. "Your soul bound?" asked Claire. "Yes" said Tesni almost whispering. The wheels started turning in her head thinking of Ethan and what he had said about of his dream of who he thought might be his soul bound. "Can I ask you a personal question?" asked Claire. "Sure, Claire please go ahead" answered Tesni. "Do you ever dream of your soul mate?" asked Claire quietly. Taken aback by the question but in truth she had dreams though out her life especially when she felt her at her lowest and others when she felt he had needed her as well. She never clearly saw his face just his eyes. Oh, his eyes that drew her in so strongly and made her world feel so complete and she knew everything would be all right. She even swore at times in her dreams she saw color she was not sure but there was something more than the normal black and white she normally saw. When he held her there were no words to described how it made her felt just loved and that there was a whole new world of possibilities. Tesni smiled and blushed at the thought of those dreams. "Well by that look on your face Tesni I think you do dream about him" smirked "Claire. Yes, Claire I do dream of him from time to time all I can say he has the most amazing eyes I really cant explain it there really no words for me to fully describe them" she replied shyly." I even swear I have seen color it was so different then the black and white I normally see I know that sounds crazy right?" answered Tesni shaking her head.

Claire smiled and replied, "No,my dear anything to do with souls bounds is unknown and possible because soul bonds are some of strongest and strangest things in this world it's bond that wonderful and life changing." Claire felt like she need to change the subject "So is your trip to Florida is it for fun or business?" asked Claire. Tesni was glad for the change in subject "Actually its a little bit of both I am going to Disney World and Universal with some of my best friends for the first week and half and then for the last week I am meeting someone to talk about something for my dads estate, what about you Claire?" asked Tesni. "Oh, that is pretty similar to what me and my family are doing me, and my three children and two grandsons are going to the parks at well my oldest son Ethan just loves Disney, so he tries to take our whole family once a year" said Claire happily."Oh, I totally get the love of Disney my dad and I use to once a year as well until he got sick, and I haven't been in over three years so it will be so nice to go back" smiled Tesni. "We should totally meet up at least one of the days I know at least for a lunch or a dinner I hope that doesn't sound too weird, but I really would like you to meet my family I think you would get along with my daughter and she could use other women on the trip besides her mom," said Claire. "I would love that I would have to talk to my friends, but I am sure they wouldn't mind if I spend some time away" said Tesni. "Are you staying at a Disney World hotel or somewhere else?" asked Claire. "Somewhere else I bought a cottage at Margaritaville resort the last time I went with my dad so that we could have some space and privacy, What about you and your family?" Tesni questioned. "Yes, my son Ethan rented one of the Animal Kingdom huts because my grandsons Oliver and Henry love animals and it has the privacy Ethan prefers" replied Claire. "Let me check me check my app to see what day we will be at Magic Kingdom" said Claire reaching down to get her phone from her purse digging through it she had to pull out a book to get more room and place the book on the tray in front of her. Tesni look at the cover she read the title and smiled: Raid-The Aftermath.

"Do you like the Raid series?" asked Tesni quietly. Claire looked up from her purse and at the book "Yes but my son Ethan is the real fan has loved those books since he was 12 and this is his book, he asked me to bring the book because he is meeting with the Author's daughter to see if they can be made into movies," said Claire. Tesni head snapped up so fast and gasped which made Claire frown. "What's wrong my dear?" Asked Claire "Umm is your son by chance the movie star Ethan Clark?" asked Tesni nervously. The look of shock on Claires face was evident. "How could you even know that?" asked Claire cautiously.

Tesni paused for a min and took a deep breath before continuing "This is totally crazy, but I am meeting with your son my dad was M.R. Scott" gasped Tesni in disbelief rubbing her forehead. "You are Matthew Scott's daughter?" asked Claire with her eyes widening. "I must say your son is very passionate about this project he has all but come knocking down my door I haven't meet him in person, but we have talked several times on the phone, and I know that he will do his very best to make the movies how my dad would have wanted" laughed Tesni. Claire laughed as well shaking her head. "That's my Ethan when he loves or wants something nothing will stop him till, he gets it done." Claire replied "It was his passion for the story that made me agree to meet with him in few weeks anyone who can talk that way about my dads books I know its about the love of the story not some half fast attempt to bring in the big bucks" said Tesni   "I have seen his some of his other movies and have enjoyed most of them he reminds me of someone but I never can place him." said Tesni shaking her head. Claire smirked a little "Do you think my son is a handsome man?" laughing at the blush slowly coming across Tesni's face "Claire did you really just ask me that?" gasped Tesni "Well by the color of your face tells me you do" laughed Claire "I plead the fifth said" Tesni rashly. That made Claire laughed aloud make several other passengers look over at them "Shh Claire" grimaced Tesni. "He is even cuter in person he has the most amazing blue-green eyes they are like mine but more vivid then mine are" smiled Claire winking at Tesni.

Tesni just shook her head "Claire please stop" blushed Tesni. The rest of the flight Claire and Tesni talked and made plans for meeting up Tesni could not but feel such strong connection to Claire like she had known her all her life. "A voice came over the intercom Hey folks we will be landing in 15 minutes so please be seated and buckled and ready by then so we can land," Other passengers started shifting in their seats by collecting their things together. Claire picked up the book and put it away then grabbed her phone and handed it to Tesni "Tesni I need your number so we can plan when we want to meet up for lunch or at the parks, and you can meet my family." said Claire. Tesni enter her number "Of course I would love to meet your family so you have Ethan and then another son and a daughter as well?" asked Tesni. "Yes I have Eddie and his husband Taylor and then my daughter Camille and her husband Sam and their sons Oliver and Henry matter of fact my daughter and son-in-law will be picking me up at 1 pm." said Claire "I can wait with you my check-in isn't till 2" said Tesni "Are you sure? Your friends wont mind waiting?" asked Claire. "Well since I am the driver, and they are really easy going so its not a problem at all." replied Tesni with smile. A voice came over head "We are about to land please buckle up and have the trays in an upright position thank-you." Tesni buckled her seat belt as the plane began to descend it shook a little and she gripped her armrest and closed her eyes. No matter how many times she flew landing always made her feel anxious. That is when she felt a comforting hand on hers, Tesni opened her eyes to see Claire's hand on top of hers. "It's alright my dear" said Claire with a small smile. Tesni felt a lot calmer, and she smile back at Claire "Thank you Claire" said Tesni quietly. "No problem Tesni" said Claire.

The plane landed without any trouble. A flight attendant came out and got over the intercom "Welcome to Orlando please exit the plane in an orderly fashion and enjoy time here in Orlando and thank-you for flying from American Airlines" said the attendant with a smile. Other passengers started to get up and gather their things. Tesni like to wait till most people exited the plane before she did, it seemed Claire had the same thoughts.
