A man, during a business trip through town, walked up to a woman and says "I like your watch, That is a nice watch". And then they walked about watches for another hour before my mom had to leave. And the man was so heartbroken and terrified at the thought of not seeing her again so before she left, he reached out and grabbed her arm. Only to remove his watch and replace it on her wrist with only only the words "Something to remember me by". The woman was flustered and somehow managed to get out the words "But i can't possibly take such a handsome watch as this. Besides how will i return your watch if i don't see you again?". Anyway in response to the woman's protest, the man replied, "Keep my watch. When we marry, you may return it. Until then this watch is all yours." And with that he left the small cafe where they has been talking for over an hour, with the knowledge that one day he planned on marrying the beautiful woman he had behind him standing in stock-still silence. Little did the woman know that after the man had returned to his home, he could not stop thinking about her.
Eights long months later, on a sudden whim, the man returned to that cafe everyday for waiting for the woman to enter and order the Large Chai Latte with Whipped Cream for $2.50 just as she had eight months and 3 weeks prior. Just as he was about to give up, the woman walked in and went straight to the counter to order. The man followed behind her and as she was about to pay, he reached out and handed the waiter named Chad a $5 bill to pay for both of their drinks. When the woman say who had payed for her, she smiled and thanked him for his generosity. Drinks in hand, they made their way to an empty table beside a large bay window and began talking for hours. Just as she was about to leave, the woman removed the watch from her wrist that she hadn't remove in the eight months since she'd last seen him, and handed him his watch with a smile. The man stood and thanked her as he walked her to the door and asked, "Same time, same place tomorrow?". The woman smiled and nodded. With that the two parted and went their separate ways.
After that day, they met for coffee almost everyday and soon they were caught in a whirlwind romance. Together they traveled across the country and with their shared love of watches, opened a jewelry shop where they could sell as many watches as their hearts desired because that is after all how they first fell in love <3
