My name is Su Chen. Her name is Wen Lan.
Wen Lan always saved the best bite for me.
Everyone in our class said she was possessive about food, stingy, and hard to get along with.
Only I knew she was simply saving everything for me.
She said the odds of childhood sweethearts ending up together were about the same as winning the lottery.
She smiled and said,
"Then I must have hit the jackpot."
Only later did I understand.
She had already prepared a future for me that didn't include her.
Theme: Love isn't possession. It's arranging a future for the other person before you leave.
