Girl Takes Photo In Music Store, Boyfriend Notices Something In Background

Unexpected Reaction

They were casually scrolling through the photos they had taken that day. But all of a sudden, Valerie stopped swiping, pausing on one particular photo. She had a look on her face that Joel had never seen before.

She quickly looked away, raising a hand to wipe tears from her eyes. He was confused, he had no idea why the photo had this impact on his girlfriend. Little did he know that Valerie’s life was about to change forever.

Exciting Trip

Joel and Valerie had been dating for over two years when they finally decided to travel to New York together. They were both from Minnesota, and they couldn’t wait to leave their hometown and explore the Big Apple.

They had the best time on their trip. They went to see the Statue of Liberty, and Central Park, and they went shopping in Times Square! Valerie’s favorite thing was visiting old record stores, looking for treasure.

Heading Back

They spent the day sightseeing and shopping. They were on their way back to their hotel when Valerie made a confession. The trip had filled her with a feeling of sad nostalgia, so she decided to open up to Joel about her love for old record stores.

As they walked back to the hotel, she revealed that she’d always adored music stores, because they reminded her of when she was a little girl. She didn’t tell him why, though.

Fighting Back Tears

Joel looked at Valerie as she spoke, and he noticed the sad look on her face. Her brows were knitted together, and her voice was shaky. It even looked like she was fighting back tears.

Joel knew Valerie well, and he knew not to press her about the matter. But before long, he would discover why she was nearly in tears.

Instagram-Worthy

When they got back to their hotel room, the couple decided to look through the pictures they had taken while exploring that day. Valerie had an eye for photography. She was good at finding the most beautiful angels of buildings and landmarks.

This meant that they had dozens of Instagram-worthy pictures from their trip.

But as they were scrolling through the photos, one caught Valerie’s attention more than the others. She zoomed in to get a closer look, and just then, her face became stricken.
