His forlorn advertisement read, "Dear M., the only thing you left me are the memories. I hope that you still take the subway and that, sooner or later, you will find my letter. I think of you all the time, how you were preparing eggs or pancakes in the morning, wearing my white T-shirt." The plea was simply signed, "A." According to an Associated Press report, "A." paid for his underground love letter through January. Karel Brezina, director of Rencar, the agency that sells the subway's advertising space, admitted that the company gave the man a "substantial" break on his ad. They did so because, Brezina said, "we liked it." Brezina, would not, however, identify the elusive paramour.

A.'s message? Will she (or he?) forgive him? Will she (or he?)
ever make pancakes and eggs for A. again? Who's wearing that
white T-shirt now?
