A group vacation. A chance encounter. They get separated by an ocean. One of them will have to brave the waves. CS AU, rated M for some swearing and a few slightly explicit scenes.

But Mrs. Mills, I don't have a thread. It all starts with those simple words. The moment the last syllable leaves Emma Nolan's lips, her life changes, and if you think for the better, then you probably live in a world where soulmates are either rare or don't exist.

Was this it? After so many months apart, trying the long distance relationship thing, was she finally going to break up with him? Is that why she had flown up for the weekend?
