[ WP ] When two people fall in love , they receive an object that is the physical embodiment of that love . It changes as their feelings change towards each other and destroying it can have drastic consequences . How does this change the nature of relationships ?

The new world statistics showed that the number of people who were not attached to a partner had increased since 2010. At that time, couples who had been in love began getting...... well its quite hard to define what *it* is. It was usually an object that's not too outlandish, in fact it would look quite commonplace but it would still have been distinguishable from other objects. It could be in any form, any colour, any size at all. For lack of a better name, I think we should just call them tokens. 
 
 In the beginning, the couples who received it deemed it a sign that their love was true. And so couples cherished them. What we discovered not too soon after was what happened should one destroy them. 
 
 The first case was when a `` love-locked'' couple had a disagreement and ended their relationship. That very night, one spontaneously combusted, the other got hit by a car. Whilst the first was a bit mysterious, the second one not so. 
 
 Then there was the second occurrence. This time a third person destroyed the token. The two, who were away canoeing turned over and drowned. Then more of these sort of events started happening. And we learned of the dark nature of these tokens. 
 
 In essence a token can be destroyed by either a broken relationship or by destruction as one would destroy a regular item. Doing so causes the two people involved in that relationship to die. Because of that, weddings were at an all time low and test tube babies were becoming more common alongside artificial insemination. 
 
 4 years on and people wandered about. Their libido at an all time low. Nobody wanted to take the risk. And neither did I. 
 
 Churches had a drop in income as well. With weddings being as rare as albino animals it was understandable that they now had to resort to baptisms, donations and the like. Of course, even then they were still getting lower amounts of that than before. The appearance of these tokens were not written in any of the holy scriptures that we knew of. This led people to begin believing in another god that would do such a thing. Of course, bibles of a sort had been circulated but in today's modern society it's harder to spread the word of God when it is well known that it was written by a man. 
 
 One day, during college, I woke up, and next to me lay a notebook. Not a laptop but an actual book of paper and ink. I was transfixed. It looked like a regular notebook save for the fact that instinct told me it was more than that. It was a token. 
 
 I sat in a daze. Who could I possibly have a crush on? I'd made sure to never look at a girl beyond more than a friend and even that I would be wary of. Then it occurred to me. What if it was someone else who loved me, but had not told me? 
 
 I looked at the book again. I noticed now that it was hardbound and locked shut. I searched but could not find the key. It was clear that whoever harbored feelings of romance for me had yet to make it apparent, and whilst the contents of the book remained secret, so too would the identity of the admirer. 
 
 Should I find him or her, or should I not? 
 
 I decided that I should discover who this mysterious person is. But it was not too hard. During lunch, a girl approached me. She was what I suppose one could call average. Wordlessly, she sat down opposite me and held the key before my eyes. I knew that this girl, in front of me, was one person I could not hurt if I valued my life. 
 
 I asked her why, but she said she was too shy, and now we were bonded, till death do us part. 
 
 Forgive any formatting issues and the like. It was all typed out on my phone and it was the first time I really got myself involved in writing a WP. Any and all feedback is appreciated.
