PAST LIFE LOVERS

Wives Michelle and Laura undoubtedly have a spiritual connection that has been at play throughout their relationship. They met through divine chance: Laura was singing to herself on a hike and Michelle complimented her voice while walking behind her. Michelle sped up to carry on the conversation and the two talked for hours as they finished their hike… Fast forward to that night where they fell asleep in one another’s arms. Yes, they went from 0 to 100 in one day! They knew instantaneously that they had each found their other half and would never leave one another’s side.

This prophecy came true as they married only five months later! It didn’t feel right to just be “girlfriends”. Ever since, the two haven’t been apart for longer than a night, except when Laura had to travel to California and Michelle couldn’t eat or sleep the whole time. Whenever their jobs do pull them apart, Michelle is a hospice nurse and Laura sings in her family band, they always stay on FaceTime (even sleeping together) to make the separation more bearable. Yes, even during a gig Laura has her phone set up on the stage with Michelle on the line if she can’t be there in person! The two are constantly sending love notes and poems back and forth, and Michelle admits that she had never seen this romantic side of her own self before meeting Laura. If they’re physically in the same room, Laura and Michelle need to be touching at all times. They wake up together, make their morning tea and shake, go to the gym together, and then head off to work – if scheduling allows, they’ll accompany each other on the job. They have sex at least once if not multiple times daily, and use a code word “banana” to alert the other that they’re feeling frisky – even if the only private area they have at the time is a public bathroom.

Laura is also a psychic medium, though she uses her gift only sporadically, when it comes to her organically. She has seen clear visions of both Michelle’s history and of their future together, in their 60s, traveling around in an RV. The two have decided that they’ve been in relationships throughout many past lives which has solidified their bond in this current life.

In the past though, Laura and Michelle have not been the type to obsess over relationships. In fact, Laura was in a relationship for eight years with a woman that she would constantly try to avoid, hoping for some alone time. Michelle is the same way; she’s always needed her own space to regroup after any social engagement. But in this relationship with each other, they just can’t get enough and it’s physically sickening when they have to be apart.

These two couldn’t have had more opposite childhoods. Laura grew up in a house full of hippies. Her parents were teenage sweethearts, and their home was always buzzing with love, laughter and music. On the other hand, Michelle’s parents were both pastors. When she was three, they divorced and her dad abandoned the family. He would come back every so often just to disappear again and break their hearts, even leaving them homeless for a time. While Michelle has worked on healing from this trauma, Laura still sees scars – and dreams that one day she will be able to confront Michelle’s dad who recently reach out to Laura. Laura wants to protect Michelle from her toxic father who is manipulating himself back into her life.

Michelle’s mother is extremely religious and Michelle fears she will never quite be totally accepting of her daughter’s sexuality. While she might have discomfort with the idea of a lesbian relationship, the bond between Michelle and Laura is so tangible that even she couldn’t deny it.

While Laura and Michelle work through familial discomforts, they generally live in their own world. People tell them all the time that they’re in the honeymoon phase, and that this will pass, but they and those closest to them see that it’s only getting more intense by the second. They bring out the best in each other and offer a safe space when it comes to expressing their love and working through past trauma. Will this honeymoon phase only grow stronger until it bursts? Or will Laura’s vision of the RV in their 60s, still as obsessed with each other as ever, become reality?
