Humans of Cleveland

With Valentine's Day swiftly (maybe a little too swiftly) approaching, we were excited and a little surprised to meet Koree and Alexis at Speedway. Both were willing to divulge stories about their significant others.
Alexis shared some tidbits about her boyfriend.
'What brought you here from Nashville?'
'My boyfriend's family.'
'Where did you meet him?'
'High school. I was at the library and he stopped his car and asked me for a lighter. We've been together ever since. It's been about two years now.'
'Do you miss Nashville?'
'Yes. Cleveland is really different than the more uppity life that I guess I'm kind of used to."
'What have you been thinking about lately?'
'Getting back in school.'
Koree also shared about her fiancée.
'What have you been thinking about lately?'
'Trying to get a car. Oh! Getting married.'
'How did you meet your fiancée?'
'At my first job, Pilot. It's a truck stop. We were both working there.'
'What happened?'
'I knew he liked me but he was really shy so I just walked up to him and was like, 'Here's my number.''
'Can you share a story about him?'
'When he tried to propose to me, we were going out to smoke. I was trying to get him to cut back. He was like, 'Let's go out to smoke' and I yelled at him. Before he proposed to me.'
