drawn you are to each other, before seers worked out how to Identify bonds we had to use our natural intuition to find our soulmates. I’d heard the rumours about Deacon filling your room with gifts and housing you in Ruby, plus the private dinner together. No matter how much he is fighting it, his instinct is driving him to please you and ensure your needs are met. It’s ticking all the boxes for you two being bonds.
