The next day I got up earlier than my family, I didn't feel like meeting them.
From what I've heard from mom's stories about how she and dad met eachother, had he proposed at the Wishing Well in Lucky Palms. Mom had said that she also had wished for that to happen, just a few minutes before he did.
I drove there.
I stared at the well and the rippling water from the walls.
This was just a well.
A lot, and I mean a lot, of coins lay on the ground and on the edge.
What if I said something wrong and something terrible happened? But what could happen? This wasn't a fairytale, it was real life. So why would I do it then? I didn't believe in this, did I?
How silly it may seem, I picked up a coin from my pocket, closed my eyes and threw the coin in the well.
"Oh please, oh please, oh please, make my biggest with come true, I want to be loved by someone." I mumbled.
I waited a few minutes. Nothing happened.
I walked into the Botanical Garden and sighed.
Of couse nothing happened. It was just a well. Mom were just lucky.
I just walked around in that garden for hours. What could I do? I didn't want to go home and I had nowhere else to go either... My eyes began to fill with tears...
"Hi there!"
I turned around and saw Nolan!
I dried my tears and cleared my throat. "Hi Nolan!"
"I drove past this garden and saw you," he said. "And since I have so much time before I need to go to my work, I stopped."
I think he saw that my eyes were tearing because he suddenly said:
"Vilhelmina, has something happened?"
I forced a smile. "No, not really... It's just me being stupid."
"I'm sure it's not!" he said. "But I will not force you to tell. Whatever happened, I promise it'll get better!"
Now I smiled for real. "Aww Nolan.." I said and he gave me a hug.
