Summary
and there are some like us,
just walking, making our feet move ahead of us,
a little bored, a little lost, a little angry,
walking as though we were really going somewhere,
walking as if there was something to see at Adelaide or maybe on King,
something that will give a fair return for this use of shoe-leather,
something that will make us smile with a strange new
happiness, a lost but recovered joy.- Raymond Souster, “Yonge Street Saturday Night”

Summary
Henry stares at his family. Stares and stares and stares as their words settle in his mind and travel down to his heart, then further down over his ribs and over the soft ridge of his stomach to settle on that mark sitting on his hip.
It doesn't quite make sense, what they’re saying, because his mark has been public knowledge for at least twelve years now, having been leaked by a scumbag journalist, spying on him while he relaxed on a private beach with Pez when he was only twenty.
He’s all but resigned himself to the belief that his soulmate had decided he didn’t want him. And that’s fair, because he’s a bloody prince and not everyone is willing to subject themselves to that level of scrutiny. It’s fine. Acceptable. Henry’s accepted it and moved on.
Only.

Summary
When he opens his eyes he’s no longer in Brooklyn.
To be fair, that’s the least pressing issue at the moment. Top of that list would be the absolutely excruciating pain in forearm and, oh yeah, the fact that people are shooting at him.
(Well past the age where most people have swapped bodies with their soulmate, Alex has all but given up on the idea that he might have one. But when he suddenly swaps in the middle of a rooftop chase and finds himself caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse, he quickly discovers how far he's willing to go to save his soulmate's life.)

Summary
“Would you please state, Mr. Claremont-Diaz, your reasons for declaring your eligibility?”
“What do you mean? Kind of obvious, isn’t it?”
“People enroll in the program for a variety of reasons for which we can deploy resources rather than simply matchmaking. For instance, people seek connections with which to secure immigration papers or green cards, to escape abusive situations at home, to take advantage of state sponsored travel, to fulfill sexual desires. And in some cases, as a way of enacting violence. We ask everyone as part of our intake.”
“Jesus.”
“Yes. So. Your reasons.”
“I want to find my soulmate, and be with her.”
Or, the soulmate matching service sends you on journeys with your match to ensure compatibility. Alex is sent on a journey with a man.
