By the time Jon and Karyn had scooped up four shovels-worth of dirt and tossed them into the well, a young man casually walked towards them.
"What are you doing?" the man asked.
Jon stopped digging into the ground and looked uneasily towards Karyn. He hoped that they could fill in the well without anyone being around. Then he looked back at the guy. "Nothing," he said. It was unconvincing. Even an idiot could see that he was digging.
The man turned and looked at Karyn. "Tell me what you're doing."
"We're filling the well up with dirt so no one can make anymore wishes," Karyn said.
Jon spun around. "Karyn!" He couldn't believe that she just told him.
"What? It's the truth."
The guy walked a little closer and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Maybe you could knock this guy out?" he asked Karyn.
"What are you talking about?" Jon asked. Why would Karyn knock him out? They were friends. She wouldn't just do it because this guy said so. But then Jon remembered the notebook filled with the wishing well wishes. One of them said: I wish women couldn't say no to me! Jon's eyes went wide. This was the guy that made that wish. He ...
Karyn slowly lifted up her shovel and swung it into the back of Jon's head, causing him to fall lifelessly to the ground. Karyn then crouched down next to him. "Oh, Jon. I'm so sorry. The shovel must have slipped out of my hands. I ..."
"Leave him alone," the man said.
Karyn stood up. "Okay."
The man smiled. "Why don't you come with me? We could get a hotel room or something."
"Okay," Karyn said, walking over to the man.
He took her hand and led her out of the park. "By the way, my name is Cecil."
"Hi, Cecil. My name is Karyn."
