How long would you wait? For your soulmate to say those three simple words? For them to touch you in that special way? For them to finally make it feel real?

Weiss sighed as she stood under the hot stream of water, feeling the days stresses and tensions melt away. She looked to the door of the bathroom, "maybe she'll join me," she mused to herself. Deep down she knew it wouldn't happen.
