Down and around the corner.

...he kept telling the story.

"Yeah, so I'm sitting at that cafe in 54th and White Ave. you know? And anyways, I see this guy get out of an old truck across the street."

"Wait the one with the red chairs and the candle things?"

"Yeah, yeah that one. Anyways, he says something to the driver gives him some money and then the truck drives off. Well this dude is just standing in the middle of downtown Portland with an army sack on his back and he looks really out of place. Wearing a red cross t-shirt and some worn out jeans; looked homeless. All of the sudden he starts looking up and down the building that the cafe sits at the base of." he said with little breathe.

"Is that the building that has all those non-profits and government agencies in it?"

"Yeah. it's that one. So, he...you know the guy with the pack, well it looks like he spots something in a window about 10 stories up and then he drops his bag and just starts yelling, 'Elizabeth! Elizabeth! I'M HERE, COME DOWN TO ME! And the guy goes on and on with this over and over again."

"Wow, intense!"

"Yeah that's what I thought too. Well all of the sudden after five minutes of yelling this girl runs out of the front doors of the building and across the street and into his arms. Then, and this is the best part, dude drops to a knee and pops out this ring. And that was it."

"What do you mean that's it? I mean did she cry or anything? Did she say yes?"

"Well yeah, but the two of them just walked off down the street and around the corner."

"That is straight from a movie bro."

"Yeah no duh, kinda makes me think of Jennifer you know?"

"Yeah I know. But if she is meant to be yours, then something big will happen."

"Or something small..."

"Yeah, or something small."
