The Carving
Under the moon's soft gaze, with a small sharp stone, the letters are carefully etched into the aged wood of the bridge railing. Each stroke is deliberate, a promise whispered into the grain of the wood.
The Waiting
Days turn to weeks, and weeks to seasons. The carved name waits, a secret held between the fibers of the railing, yearning for the touch of the night-blooming jasmine that will eventually claim it.
The Embrace
As the jasmine vines begin their gentle ascent, they curl around the carved letters, softening the edges with their delicate tendrils. The name becomes one with the plant, visible only to those who know to look for it, a secret shared between the night air and the bridge.
