For most of my life, I had never heard of the term soul mate, or put any value to the word. It wasn't until I was unhappily married, and came across a book about soul mates that I realized how special such a person would be in my own life. After reading the book, I put my own plans into action, and started to seek out, what I believed would be the perfect man for me.

Of course, this started with the end of my marriage, but that, in itself is a different story.

The search for my soul mate was exciting. I re-read some of the stories that I had read in the book, Hot Chocolate for the Mystical Lover's Soul, and put into action some of the ideas that I found in the book.

We had made plans the previous night to talk to each other around 9pm, as that was when my children would be in bed. I stared at the clock anxiously all day, awaiting the time when I could finally talk to him again.
