"I put my pen to the paper and began to write. I'd made so many wishes for so many couples quietly in my head as they drove away, but writing the words out made it seem more real, possible. For them, and maybe for me.FOR YOU, I WISH FOR SECOND CHANCES.I folded it shut, then put it on the wall before I could change my mind, right above Jilly's.

When I looked back at the wish wall from a distance, it was a sea of squares: I couldn't even find mine among them.

If you didn't, nothing even had a chance of coming true."
