He carved their names into a bench to show how much he loved her. Was it a symbol that his love would last forever? Was it a sign that their love was true for now? You have to wonder if Ivonne still loves Dan. I wonder if the smile on her face that met Dan's in '96 still remains when she thinks of him today. Have they become forever two names carved in a table? Are they just a moment caught in time for strangers to wonder about as they eat their lunch and continue on their journey? For if carving made love permanent, surely fewer marriages would fail and more childhood sweethearts would remain together forever. . .
