Laughing lightly in my ear he says , “ I thought you might like that . ”  
    I am speechless at first and then I finally say, “ Yeah, I do . ”   Not to o sure if he hears me, but he smiles back.  He gently lowers us back down to the floor and leads me out of the room.
    I follow him to the back of the house.  Outside I find this gigantic marble patio area where there are others having drinks and talking, as well as engaging in a little sexual divergence beside the pool. 
    That ’ s something I don ’ t believe the mundane humans will ever truly accept.  Our kind feels pretty open about our own sexuality and if two witches consent in giving each other pleasure then no harm is done.  It is natural and simply put it i s a beautiful part of our world. 
    We walk over to a small alcove on the other side, within this alcove there is another pool ent irely lit up with white candles, i t is absolutely beautiful.  He pull s me over to a long white couch, which is definitely a more private area.
    When we are finally alone I look over at him and ask “ Where is Megan? ”   I already know the answer though.
    He laughs and says , “ After I gave her a drink she wandered off to find someone else to dominate , I think she found out quickly I wasn ’ t intrigued by her. ”
    I agree, saying , “ Of course, we both know how it can be with Megan. ”  
    There is a wet bar next to us and David raises his hand out and two drinks levitate towards us.  I take my glass . “ Thanks, so, what do you have on your mind? ”   I am curious to know why now, why after all this time he decides to find me, to talk to me.  I take a sip of my drink and look at him. 
    He glances down at his glass and says after a long silent pause. “ I miss you. ”   He takes a drink and looks back at me.  “ I think us being apart is a delusion, we just need more time … together. ”
    He stretches out one of his arms behind me . “ I know being lifemate s can happen differently for each one of us, but if we just take our time, I know things will fall into place. ”
    Now I ’ m the one looking down at my glass.  I don ’ t know what to say to him.  I have to say I was a bit crushed when he gave me the breakup phone call, but being here with him I still don ’ t feel the love that lifemate s talk about.  I know that no matter how much we work at it, forcing it won ’ t be the answer.
    David puts his empty glass down and says, “ Raise the back of your shirt; I want to see your crescent. ” I sigh, but figure why not, so I move over and turn my back to him and raise my shirt up to the middle of my back.  I feel him trace his fingers over the witch ’ s crescent on my bare skin . “ See, you haven ’ t found anyone as your lifemate yet. ”
    Lowering my shirt down I turn back to David and say, “ No , and I haven ’ t really been trying either, I haven ’ t dated anyone since we broke up. ”  
    All witches, not just our own, but all witches carry a symbol on their body, the symbol is a unique crescent , placed depending on gender, for the females its on our lower backs. The male ’ s crescent is on their left upper arms and to the humans it looks just like a tattoo. When we find our lifemate s our crescent fills in with the color of crimson.  It allows others to know we have our lifemate , and that means there is a bond between the two that can ’ t be broken, only in death will it break.
    David takes off his jacket and rolls his sleeve up to expose his crescent symbol and it isn ’ t crimson. I look back at him and say , “ Ok, I don ’ t quite understand what you ’ re trying to tell me. ”  
    He pulls his white silk sle eve back down and takes my hand. “ Don ’ t you get it? We both haven ’ t found anyone through all this time of being apart . ”   I finish my drink and move my hand away slowly.
    “ Look, David we both have been hurt and I think we should just heal now and move forward, ” I say looking
