3 nights ago a human being changed my world forever.

His name is Shane and I can't believe I found him.

We've been dating for about 4 months now and every day seems to be better then the last.
至今为止我们已经交往了4个月了，每一天都很开心，而且比前一天更加开心。
From his sense of humor, to his amazing interests to his warm smile
无论是他幽默的谈吐，他令人赞叹的学识，还是他温暖的微笑，都让我倾心不已
he's wonderful and cute.
总而言之，他是一个很棒的男人，还很萌萌哒呢。
But it wasn't until 3 nights ago that I realized how in love with him I am
直到三天之前，我才意识到，自己已经深深的爱上了他
because of a single act of kindness.
仅仅是因为他的一个小小的善举
We were having date night and he's trying to suprise me with a salsa class.
那天晚上我们正在约会，他还给我预定了一节萨尔萨舞的课堂作为惊喜。
He heard me say on our first date I always found dancing amazing
从我们第一次约会起，他就听我说过，我觉得舞蹈这种艺术非常了不起
and wanted to be a ballet dancer when I was young
我说过自己小的时候一直梦想着能成为一名芭蕾舞演员
but I never got the chance.
可是我从没有机会实现这个梦想
Now at 29 I figure salsa or something would be more fun.
我告诉过他，如今，29岁了，我觉得萨尔萨舞之类的会更有意思。
So he decided to sign us up and we would begin classes.
所以他决定给我们俩报名学习萨尔萨舞。
On our walk we were about to get on the subway until it happened.
我们一起散步，走到地铁站附近的时候，那件事发生了。
I was talking and I kept noticing he was looking over at someone not listening.
我正絮絮叨叨的对他说着什么，他却侧目看着某个人，没有注意我说的话。
Finally he said I'm sorry babe can you give me a second I need to check something.
最后他对我说，对不起，宝贝，你能等我一会儿吗，我得去看一看。
He walks over to a young girl maybe 19-20 years old
他朝一个看上去大概十九，二十岁左右的年轻女孩走去，
who was crying on a bench in the subway.
她正坐在地铁站的长凳上哭泣
As I approached I realized she was homeless for some time
我走过去，发现她已经离家多日了
and all she had was a single bag.
她全部的所有物就是一只背包
She said to him all she wanted to do was to go home.
她告诉她，她唯一的愿望就是回家
He asked where she lived and it wasn’t even in the city.

She was in need and looked scared.
看来她真的需要帮助，而且十分惶惶不安
So in this moment many would either hand some money over or wish her luck or maybe let her make a call.

Shane did much more.

He pulls me aside looks me right in the eyes and says

"Kelly I can't leave her here like this.“

I said of course no so the journey began.
我说当然可以，于是这一夜的经历就开始了
We went to two women's shelters with her
我们带着女孩去了两个妇女庇护所
and to no avail they weren't taking anymore people.
结果都无功而返，对方都不愿意再接纳新的来客了
It was a bit cold and well we're not the richest people with our student loans
天气有些冷，我们都是背负着教育贷款的学生，自己也不富裕
so we really couldn't afford to pay for a hotel room in the city.
所以我们支付不起酒店房间的费用
So Shane with his trusting heart of gold says would I mind spending the night at his place and asking her to stay with us.
可是Shane有一颗金子般的赤子之心，他问我是否介意在他住的地方过一夜，还请我去邀请女孩一同前往
He figured she would feel comfortable with a girl asking her
他想到，由我作为一个女孩子去问那个女生
if she'd like to spend the night and we'd figure it out in the morning.
问她是否愿意和我们共度一晚，明早再找新的办法，这样对方更容易接受
I mean here I am with a guy I'm starting to fall for
想想看，此时此刻，我和一个自己爱上的男人在一起
and he's willing to bring a stranger in for the night out of the cold.
而他去要把一个陌生人带回家去，以躲避夜晚的严寒
When I asked her she truly weeped and thanked me a million times
当我问她是否愿意和我们一起共度一晚时，她真的哭了起来，不停的向我道谢
but little did she know it wasn't my idea and honestly I'd of never of done this.
她不知道，这其实不是我的注意，而且坦诚的说，我从没做过这种事
But he has this gravity about him that just pulls you in.
可是他就是有这种感染力，能让你投身到这样的善举之中
We get to Shane's house and I have some clothes there
我们来到了Shane家，幸好我在他家留了一些换洗的衣服
so I gave her some stuff that would fit and let her get a shower.
我挑了几件合身的衣服交给她，
In the meantime Shane ordered pizza
在此期间，Shane买了披萨饼
and when she came out he made her feel so cozy like he'd known her for 100 years.

and then he made her hot tea and we watched his favorite movie The Big Lebowski.

He made the couch up for her and we went to bed.
他把沙发布置了一番，让她睡在沙发上，接着我们都去睡觉了

and she had a place to go.
她终于有地方可去了
Shane drives her to the bus station and buys her a ticket and hands her an envelope.
