during the relationship, we both gain an imprint embedded in our hand. Like, my dad’s is the shape of a cross. His imprint allows him to heal people of any disease and any injury,” he explained. “They come in all shapes and all do different things.”
                  “Does it hurt?”
                  Dean shook his head. “No. You barely feel it.”
                  Lola exhaled heavily, looking toward the ocean. “This is crazy.”
                  “My parents told me that you feel a great bond with your soul mate,” started Dean. “Your soul mate is somebody that you can always trust and be honest with. Your soul mate protects you from any danger and promises to… love you forever.” He paused. “I know it all sounds pretty forward, but it’s something that is really beautiful in our family.
    Before this happened, the first sight had been absent in our family for nearly twenty years. I didn’t believe it would happen to me. I didn’t think it was true.” He smiled at her and played with a tendril of her hair. “But, now that I’ve met you, I actually feel something. It’s strange, but my heart’s telling me we were destined to meet each other.”
                  “Oh.” Lola looked away from his gaze.
                  It was quiet for a moment until Lola broke the silence.
                  “I need to tell you something,” said Lola.
                  “What is it?” Dean watched her carefully.
                  “Lately, I’ve been hearing your thoughts. It’s been all about how you were looking for someone or something,” she explained sheepishly.
                  “Oh…” Dean nodded. “Yeah, it’s been a pretty few rough days for me. My family has been badgering me about finding my soul mate. I’ve been hearing your thoughts, too.”
                  “Really?” Lola blushed.
                  Dean chuckled lightly. He then grew serious. “Honestly, they seemed kind of sad. Almost like you were degrading yourself.”
                  Lola sighed and looked away, running a hand through her curls. “Great. Now he thinks I’m insecure.”
                  “Hey, hey.” Dean pulled her eyes back to his gaze as he cupped her cheeks. “Do not think like that. You’re beautiful and any guy would be lucky to have you.” He paused and smiled.
                  “Isn’t it weird to be so happy after we just met?” asked Lola, confused.
                  “It’s the effect of the first sight. It’s not a human feeling,” explained Dean.
                  “Human?” Lola paused. “So, I’m not human anymore?”
                  Dean sighed, suddenly nervous. “Well, not all the way anymore. Once you develop powers and your imprint, you’ll be considered a Manifester. We like to keep this a secret.”
                  “We?”
                  “There’s hundreds of us across the globe,” he explained.
                  Lola’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at him incredulously. “Are you kidding?”
                  “Lola?”
                  Dean glanced up at a blond girl standing next to Lola. She stared at the both of them curiously, more so Lola.
    “Jessica!”
                  “I’ve been looking for you everywhere, but I can see you’re in good hands. Right?” She smirked.
                  “I promise she’s in good hands.” Dean stood up. “I’m Dean.”
                  “Jessica. I’m Lola’s best friend,” she said, still smirking.
                  Lola stood up and looked at Jessica, rubbing the back of her head. “I’m actually going to head home soon. I’ll call you tomorrow, okay?”
                  “Yeah. You
