CROYEZ-VOUS EN l’ÂME SOEUR L’une est encore jeune, un peu connue mais déjà lasse. Elle parle d’amour sur les plateaux de télévision, donne des conseils éclairés, mais peine à trouver du sens à sa propre histoire. Dans un café de l’île Saint-Louis où elle a pris l’habitude de commencer ses journées, elle fait une rencontre qui va bouleverser sa vision du monde, de l’amour et qui va transformer sa vie. L’autre a les cheveux blancs et les yeux clairs. Elle était journaliste. Elle a cherché l’amour dans les bras d’hommes qui l’ont plus ou moins aimée, jusqu’à ce que l’évidence d’une rencontre éclipse toutes les autres. Dans un café de l’île Saint-Louis, elle est venue trouver la jeune femme qui parle d’amour pour lui raconter son histoire. Lui a des boucles brunes et un regard noir. Il se souvient des temps anciens où ils se sont rencontrés. Il sait qu’il ne peut pas l’aimer dans cette vie-là, ou elle en mourra encore. Leur amour est au-delà de l’amour car leurs âmes sont soeurs. Ils se sont retrouvés dans ce café de l’île Saint-Louis, mais ils devront attendre encore toute une vie avant de s’unir à jamais. C’est l’histoire d’un amour bouleversant parce qu’impossible, qui fait vivre une expérience qui touche à l’intime et à l’universel de la passion amoureuse.
