Characters: Steve Trevor

As a child, Steve is not bothered by the concept of soulmates. He sees the happiness that radiates from his parents, so he doesn’t exactly mind when, at the age of six, he is told that the compass has began to move.

He perfectly beams at his mother’s joyful face. His mother decides to keep his compass - a precaution, she says - he nods solemn, he doesn’t want to either lose it or break it. And so, for the next couple of years, the compass remains in the loving care of his mother.

He is twelve the first time he falls in love. Sarah is a beautiful girl, sunny and warm, kind and laughs easily and has sparkling green eyes. He wouldn’t mind spending the rest of his life with her. He dashes for his compass, heart in his throat, hoping for the best.

When he gets his compass, he feels a pang of disappointment. It’s still moving. So he takes it with him, hoping it will stop with her near. It doesn’t. The compass points towards the east.

He is sixteen the next time it happens. He is madly in love with Jane, and this time, he feels betrayed that the compass keeps pointing east. But the time he spends with her is lovely, even if she’s not his soulmate. It’s her who ends it, she found her soulmate, she says, and leaves behind a broken heart.
