Wealthy businessman Roger Landers was often annoyed by the sight of homeless people outside his office. <\/p>\n
One day, he noticed a young woman huddled against a wall. When a passerby dropped a coin in her cup, her radiant smile transformed his perception of her. Intrigued, Roger found himself thinking about her all week.<\/p>\n
On Friday, he approached her, awkwardly offering to buy her coffee. The girl, Emma, accepted gratefully. <\/p>\n
Over steaming cups, Emma shared her story: she had been lured to L.A. by a charming boy who vanished with her money on their first night. Ashamed, she ended up on the streets.<\/p>\n
Roger was moved. \u201cI\u2019m sending you home,\u201d he declared, taking her shopping for clothes and a suitcase. At the bus station, he tucked a $100 bill into her hand, warning her against trusting charming strangers again. Emma hugged him tightly, tears of gratitude streaming down her face.<\/p>\n
That night, Roger realized he had fallen for Emma. He couldn\u2019t let her go. Two days later, he drove to her hometown of Preston, Idaho, and found her at a laundromat. Her face lit up when she saw him; the feeling was mutual.<\/p>\n
Just three weeks later, Emma returned to L.A. with Roger, who loved and cherished her. By the end of the year, they were married, and Emma became involved in a program to help runaways find their way home.
