The legend said their love would last while their initials remained on the Lovers Tree.
Nick carved his initials deep into the bark. His knife traced her initials again. He wasn’t taking any chances.
She hadn’t noticed him, but he had waited, been there for her, loved her. He hadn’t dared to dream, hadn’t imagined she would be his or declare her love.
She swore Todd meant nothing after he broke her heart. But Nick saw the way she looked at Todd when she thought he wasn’t looking.
He gouged the letters deeper and prayed for Todd’s initials to fade.

So poignant. Funny how often I see this very thing–not just on trees, but in bathroom stalls … yeah.

LOL Yes, they are all over public bathrooms, even bathrooms where you wouldn’t expect to find them.
