PICTURE THIS: You're 20 years old, and the ding of the elevator signals you to go in. School just ended, and you just can't wait to go home. As you pressed the button for the doors to close, a hand blocks it, a boy's hand. He caught the elevator in time to ride with you. 10 years later, that same boy, now a man, has asked your hand in marriage. 37-year old Shukura Halliday-Shimura has held this man's hand all these years, what started in New York, followed him in Japan, and finally followed her back in Los Angeles. I'm floored by the sheer fortune of finding true love in an elevator. Five floors before he loses her interest and literally walks out of his life, I wonder what was his elevator pitch that pressed all her right buttons?
