Woman falls asleep on stranger's shoulder on bus - and now they're in a romance

A love -struck man met his partner on a bus when she fell asleep on his shoulder - and now they're locked in an incredibly cute romance. Eddy Huarcaya spotted Catalina when they both boarded the same bus but unfortunately, someone else jumped in the seat next to her.

When the seat was emptied Eddy jumped at his chance and sat next to the girl of his dreams, but to his surprise, she almost instantly fell asleep. Her head then lolled to the side and rested on his shoulder, so Eddy took a quick picture to immortalise the moment the pair had met.

"She ended up falling asleep, so I let her rest."

A few weeks later, on August 3, Eddy spotted the woman again and decided to heed fate's call.
