"Wanting to hold you, wanting you near, how much I wanted you home
But now that you've come back, turned night into day, I need you to stay
So now I come to you with open arms, nothing to hide, believe what I say So here I am with open arms, hoping you'll see what your love means to me" -Journey
The girl jumped back staring at him as if he had grown another head. "What was that?" she asked.
"Let me buy you dinner and I'll explain," he said.
"I'm not just going to go off with some stranger," Rachel said. She studied him again. "Wait, aren't you a vampire?"
"How did you-?" he started but the stake in her hand stopped him. He grabbed her arm before she even had the chance to consider using the stake. Again there were sparks. "I'm part of Circle Daybreak."
"Why am I supposed to believe that?" she demanded.
"I'll admit, you have no reason to believe me," he said.
"Damn right I don't!" she exclaimed. His eyes widened slightly as he regarded her. She really was like Rashel. He couldn't think of any way to convince her that he was telling the truth. Finally he just reached out pulling her to him and kissed her. She stiffened in his arms but relaxed with the feel of his lips on hers. He pulled away when the silver cord tugged at them. He broke the kiss off looking down at Rachel. She was very dazed. "What was that?"
"The soulmate principle," he said. "I'm sure you've heard of it."
"I'm your soulmate?" she asked softly.
"Yes," he said smiling. "You look so much like Rashel."
"Rashel?"
"You're an old soul. You were Rashel Jordan." She stared up at him. "So will you take me up on that dinner invitation?"
"Yes."
