Red Strings

By Krystal Doolittle

The red strings of fate were just a story told since ancient times. The story goes that these red strings connect soulmates, gently guiding them to one another.

 

If you were to ask engaged couple Stella and Flynn, they would have told you that they were meant to be together. That was until the world woke up one day and everyone could see those red strings of fate. The only problem was, Stella and Flynn's strings weren't connected.

I can’t wait, either, he admitted. It’s hard to believe our wedding is only a week away.

I know, she sighed. It felt like it was taking forever, but now that it’s here? It feels like it’s going so fast. She didn’t think she was getting cold feet necessarily but the idea of the big day was still making her nervous.
