`` Come on! Let's make a wish!'' 
 
 Her voice immediately let me know that she was n't going to let it go. I know it was our anniversary and it killed me that I could n't take her to a fancy restaurant or get her a bouquet of flowers. All of my money went to my debts. She was a queen and she deserved to live in a palace. I could n't give her that, and it killed me inside every single day. 
 
 `` It'll be fun. I promise.'' 
 
 I had worked extra shifts all week long just to be able to buy groceries to be able to cook dinner. I did n't know how to cook, so I looked up a recipe on the internet and made the first thing that came up. I bought some candles and tried to tidy up my home. She did n't mind. She always tells me that she does n't care about the material stuff, but I do. She grabs the wishbone from the chicken and motions me to grab the other end. I grab the wishbone while she begins to count down from 3. I know what I wish. I wish to be able to give her the means I know she deserves. I wish to be able to treat her to the high life. I wish to be able to give her small presents at random without worrying about my bills. 
 
 `` 3...'' 
 
 My hands begin to tighten around the wishbone. 
 
 `` 2...'' 
 
 I close my eyes. 
 
 `` 1!'' 
 
 The bone broke surprisingly easy. 
 
 I open my eyes and look down. 
 
 I ca n't help but smile.
