Mila + John.

There it was scrawled in the top of the wooden table where we were sitting. Nothing to hide it, it was out there to be seen. There for every patron to gawk at and trace with their finger. Management had not made any attempts to hide or discourage it. No janitor had cursed it during its removal or wished its disappearance. Perhaps it is "the" public display of affection (PDA).

After seeing it, my mind kept drifting back to it all night with many questions. Who is Mila? Who is John? Who etched it in the table? Did he do it while she watched or vice versa? Are they still together or was it over before/after/during the etching of it in the table. Do they come back and visit their table? Is it love? I hope so, if not the world is covered with broken promises.
