0-10: TOTALLY DELUSIONAL

This one is not your soul mate. Why do you keep telling yourself he is? You probably shouldn’t even know this person. Find
someone with more substance. And cut down on your coffee consumption.

11-17: SOMEWHAT COMPATIBLE

You might be able to make this work, but you will probably never be soul mates unless one of you matures an awful lot in the
next few weeks.

18-22: SOUL MATES

You’re made for each other! Enjoy it. It’s a rare thing.

I’m sorry, but Tess’s boyfriend Peter has got to be the cutest, sweetest boy on the planet. She told me a little secret about
him. The other night they were making out at Tess’s house. Her uptight parents were out. Tess doesn’t like to have Peter over
when they’re around, because her mother tends to grill Peter on his academic credentials and his plans for the future. Total
buzzkill.

Anyway, back to the good part of the story: Tess found this funny little spot on Peter’s stomach, right below his rib cage.
They were kissing and everything, getting into it, and she put her hand under his shirt
—
he has a great long, flat stomach, not really a six-pack, but Tess isn’t into muscles anyway
—
and she’s rubbing his stomach and she accidentally presses this spot, right where the ribs make kind of a corner. And he squeaked!
This adorable little mousy sound came out of his mouth. So they stopped kissing, and Tess started laughing, and she pressed
the same spot again, and he squeaked again! And it turns out all she has to do is press that spot and he squeaks every time!
He can’t help it. Is that not the sweetest?
