He gently shut his eyes.
The neighborhood restaurant boasted a wishing wall adorned with sticky notes bearing the heartfelt

Eventually, he found a pink, heart-shaped sticky note in the corner. In elegant

With a sigh, Damien opened his eyes. He focused through the black silk covering them, gazing steadily
at Cherise, who was bathed in the soft, orange light of the setting sun.
Her wish was so simple; how could he possibly let her down?

Cherise bounded over, carrying a plastic bucket filled with fish. “I caught a massive fish!” She eagerly

In the end, the entire water bucket toppled over amidst an exciting moment.

Cherise finally realized that the sun had already set, and the surroundings had become hazy.
