The year someone turns 18 they have the opportunity to be injected with a serum that will produce a soulmate mark somewhere on their body. This serum is costly and the procedure to get the injection is not covered by insurance.
A rare illness cropp...
"I also love Freddie Highmore, and while he is great in the television series The Good Doctor I'm not much into medical procedural shows. I admit to preferring mostly his older child actor roles, but also a couple of his lesser known movies like The Art of Getting By and Almost Friends."

"You have given me some solid background for movies you have enjoyed the actors in. Now tell me about your actual celebrity crushes." He slyly persuades me.
"Okay, okay. So, you know I prefer older movies over all. Well they aren't terribly older but I definitely have a soft spot for 80s and 90s movies. My two big celebrity crushes are probably Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio."

"Hmm. What movies are your faves of theirs?"
I arch an eyebrow. "Hey, I went beyond answering the question. Next round."
I try to focus as hard as I can and still he manages to beat me and rake in the next hand. "What are your favorite movies starring Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio?" I'm not surprised he insisted on that being his next question after all.
"Hm. Brad Pitt there are a few but I think I will have to settle on Legends of the Fall. With Leonardo DiCaprio the decision is easy. While Titanic is a classic and I do appreciate the movie, the ending not only makes me sad, it also kind of pisses me off. Which is why it isn't my favorite. My favorite movie with Leonardo is The Man in the Iron Mask. Partially because I love anything involving The Three Musketeers, but also in part because he plays two roles in it." I pause to consider his two roles for a moment. "Granted one of them is an extreme asshole. But, that simply makes the second role more endearing."
"I don't think I have seen either of those. Perhaps we will have to watch those together sometime." He thinks for a second. "Why does Titanic piss you off though?"
"I'm not really a fan of sad endings. Don't get me wrong. I understood the reasoning, but if I had written it I wouldn't have let Jack die. I would have written him as psychologically tormented afterward though. Probably having some form of PTSD or being completely guilt stricken to the point of becoming an alcoholic or suicidal. So many passengers that were staying on the lower levels perished. I think he would have felt guilty about living while many of the friends he had made didn't survive, including his best friend that he had boarded the ship with in the beginning." I pause for a second. "Perhaps him and Rose would have parted for a short time, at least while he got his shit together. But I would have wanted them to find each other again and get back together in the long run." I also constantly consider the possibility of Rose becoming pregnant during their one time together, but for some reason I don't bring up that particular possibility.
