[ 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 ?

It was beautiful. A perfect turquoise apple with gold trimmings crossing over it in the most intricate way one could imagine with a green stem that split in the middle and almost looked like a little hat. When they received their embodiment of their feelings they looked it over trying to see exactly what it meant. Both of them were the digging type Tarot cards, horoscopes, personality test, if there was a way to find out more about who you are and what makes you tick these two found it and dug their teeth in. 
 
 “ Turquoise, emotional openness and stability. ” Ashley looked over the object that represented their feelings and smiled. “ Thats beautiful isn ’ t it Ronnie? It show how open we are with each other! ” 
 
 Ronald wasn ’ t too fond of the nickname but never complained. In fact he never complained about anything it was n't in his personality type to complain or make big decisions like forming a union. He left all those things up to her and her family. You see she was a second generation Chinese American and it was very important to her family that things work well so that was the unspoken deal they made. He played by her rules and in return he got a lovely trophy of a wife. Some might say that made him boring but Beth didn ’ t, she loved him. 
 
 Every week the apple seemed to shine brighter and turn a a more vibrant hue much like how their marriage seemed more and more perfect. Strangely it started sprouting leaves that wrapped around like a little Chinese straw hat, it was becoming new again. Her family didn ’ t seem to contact them as much but Beth assured him they were just giving them space, a tradition. Ron was happy like he had always been but things seemed off; not bad or terrible just off. Beth kept her phone closer and her meetings for work and girls ’ nights seemed to fill up her schedule. To keep himself busy he went back to studying the apple. He knew green meant envy maybe it was just his own desire to have more of a social life like his wife that disturbed him. 
 
 A google search destroyed him. The leaves looked just like a neat little green hat. A neat, green, Chinese hat.
