The two took a leisurely stroll down the trail, and Mike stopped after twenty minutes.
"Ivy, look." He pointed to a tree that looked strong but not overly tall with countless cards hanging on it.
"Hahaha! I guess religion knows no bounds." Mike took Ivy to the tree and found a booth that stood a little distance away from the tree. The booth had a plate that read, 'The Wishing Booth' and another plate that read 'The Wishing Tree' by the tree.
People seemed to have written their wishes on cards and hung them on the three. He walked over and glanced through some of the cards. "Um... 'Pass my exam'... 'Get my dream guy'... 'Slim down!', 'Get rich'!' He chuckled after reading a few cards aloud. "Do you want to write your own? Maybe it will come true."
"I don't think I have any wishes. I feel like I'm the happiest person on earth, and it would be greedy of me to make any more wishes." She considered it in all seriousness and realized that she did not have any wish.
She wanted to go where fate took her and did not plan her future after her graduation.
"You don't have to write a wish. You can write down what you wish to say to that friend of yours... Maybe he will see it at some point, right?" Mike said, before heading for the booth where there was a vending machine for cards.
He took out his wallet and placed a coin into the machine. A card fell out, and he handed it to Ivy before pointing to the pen on the table.
"I won't look. Just write something!" he said, before walking away.
She held onto the card hesitantly and picked up the pen.
