Fortune cookie failed to save them
A couple went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. They had been fighting over the last couple of days but hey, everyone needs to eat. A minor fight broke out again before the dishes arrived. Exact reason remained unknown, or too petty to be bothered with. It wasn’t exactly the most pleasant meal.
Towards the end of the meal, the girl broke off her fortune cookie with little interest. She then smiled, probably after reading the words of faux wisdom, uncovered from within the many broken pieces of the crispy cookie.
It says:
Do not dwell on the differences with your love one…try to compromise.
She passed along the message from cupid to her boyfriend. They both exchanged smiles. They both fought for the bill. They both left with arms around waists.
I wish my arm was around her waist. But my story branched out on the last part to the dark realm where everything ends up not too well, or remains unchanged.
She returned all the things I ever gave her the next morning.
Looks like it’s time to turn on the answering machine again.
