"I have no idea," Daina admitted with faint amusement, though she couldn't think of a single thing that could make this place better than what it already was. "I honestly can't think of a single thing that it could be, especially for him to call us specifically." Shrugging gently, she let herself relax before her gaze went to the Architect when he'd shown up and spoken. "Hi there." Offering a smile, she watched, waiting, but she blinked when she heard another voice and her gaze went to the source and, for a moment, she found herself in complete awe of the man who stood there. Something about him - something she couldn't quite put her finger on - had her completely frozen as she took him in, finding him just so perfect.
The Architect smiled slightly, watching, before he nodded to the girls, then looked to Luke. "We're just waiting on your friend, Michael, then we can get on to the wonderful news I have for you four," he informed.
Michael had been approaching about this time, close enough to hear his name mentioned, but he couldn't really focus on what the Architect was saying, his gaze going to a stunning brunette who'd been sitting on the fountain. His breathing had nearly hitched in his throat - not that he really needed to breathe, he assumed, since he was dead, his mind still wrapping around that. But, in that moment, seeing that woman, he swore he'd never felt more alive. Chewing on his lip, he grinned slightly, unable to help it, and he made his way closer. "Uh, I'm here," he mentioned to the Architect, nodding slightly, offering a grin to his friend before he settled his gaze back on the brunette, finding himself never wanting to look away.
"Wonderful!" the Architect declared happily before he smiled and motioned for the girls to stand. "Now, for my news - Stella Rae, I would like you to meet Michael Clifford." He motioned between Stella and Michael, smiling. "Michael Clifford, this is Stella Rae. And I am absolutely pleased to inform you both that you are each other's soulmates." He then smiled to Luke and Daina. "Daina Sharp, this is Luke Hemmings - and Luke Hemmings, this is Daina Sharp. And, while this news is rare, it seems we have two in one day, because you two happen to be soulmates as well."
