Obi-Wan understands the concept of soulmates, of course, has even been around those couples who have found their particular match now and again. He finds the concept a bit puzzling, and the reality fairly sweet, but it isn't something he considers particularly relevant to him, personally.
Oh, he's affectionate, warm, even loving but in a fairly ...unfocused way. He's even been attracted to people, though very rarely. It simply isn't where his attention lies. He's dedicated to the Order and that leaves very, very little room for anything else in his life.
Dedication to the Order is why, in spite of the rarity of Jedi being used as body guards, there's no complaint from him about his assignment. There are extenuating circumstances in play, too, and someone he remembers fondly from years ago, too, of course.
He takes the elevator in silence, relatively dignified and quietly composed when he walks in. The moment he goes to shake her hand to reintroduce himself, though, his composure cracks.
"No, it isn't." She stares at Obi-Wan for a long moment with a confused, almost distressed expression, which catches the attention of a few others in the room. Offering quick reassurances, she sends them away, Dormé retreating to her own room while Typho goes to check in with the security team.
When they are alone, she returns her attention to the man who is suddenly much more important in her life than she'd ever thought him to be. If she wants him to be. Is that how this works? She has dozens of questions, but the first that is voiced is perhaps not relevant to their present situation.

Because she's glowing.
"This is not good."

"Why now? This is not the first time we've met."
