Description
They find each other in every life, but will he stay this time? Twenty-Five year old, Marina Ali, is an underweight, insecure, Pakistani in a predominantly Caucasian town of Cheshire, England. She's too pale and European looking to fit in with her small, Asian community. She is attractive, and clean living due to her Islamic upbringing, but an OCD sufferer since the death of her older brother when she was nine. It's the reasons she hides behind her passion for art. Twenty-year old, Todd Olivan, is a wanderer, sometimes a recluse, complicated and often quiet but with an alluring presence. He is also tall, handsome, and a talented musician, yet lost and stumbling through life on drug binges that only give him a temporary relief. When Marina decides to visits a psychic with her best friend Lydia, she is given psychometry, a process where the medium holds an object or person to read the vibration of their soul. It's a way to collect a person likes, dislikes and their memories. Marina is given the name Todd; a name she does not recall. But weeks later she meets a young man with that name, and is instantly drawn to him, she even wonders if he is from a past life, whether something between them is unresolved. But it seems only she can sense the familiarity. Todd appears oblivious and sees her only as the attractive lead singer of his band. When Todd leaves the group, Marina finds herself thinking about him every now and again, believing it must be for a reason. They go on to meet other people, leading seemingly empty lives. And when their paths cross again, seven years later, it is up to Marina to help him see they might be destined to be together. The story is in alternating POV. First Draft.
