Should I Stay or Should I Go?
I grabbed my husband and told him that we must leave, fast. But he held me back. Don't you want to know who this girl is? At least her name? After a bit of hesitation, I knew he was right. I tried to walk away from it, but the curiosity was stronger than me and I gave in. I introduced myself as the creator of Purse and asked her a few questions. I guess I just needed to give my final approval, and even say a final goodbye. I can only hope for the best for the future of Purse with her new owner, Catherine.
I didn't tell Catherine the whole story of how Purse came about, and the personal connection that it had to me. She liked it because it was "Vintage and Cool." She will never know that whenever she puts her personal belongings in there, the ouside will be an essence of me. She will never know that she didn't just take Purse, but a little part of a stranger, me.

Something Interesting Happened
After 10 minutes of just standing there, waiting for someone to notice you, it became a little unbearable. I decided that it was time to turn the camera off, and take a walk around Target. I'll be back later.
But as I started walking away, something told me to go back. As soon as I turned around again, there it was. A randome girl and guy taking Purse from her location. And she would not let it go. She kept on looking at it. And although she tried other purses on as well, she just would not let go of Purse. That's when I knew, I would never see you again.
Sorry girl, I just need to take a couple of pictures. I didn't say anything, I just started to snap snap snap. She was obviously pissed, as you can see in one of the pictures. But I didn't care. It's me who should be pissed. You are the one taking away my purse.
It got a bit uncomfortable for her, and she walked away, but I managed to turn the camera on. You can see by the shaky video that I was trembling a bit, I was nervous. And the girl was walking away, avoiding my camera. That was it. Time to leave now.

An Evaluation of the Surroundings
Don't worry. I am not leaving so soon.
I stood there with my camera, just listening to people around and looking for potential caretakers. Every time someone walked past, I wondered. Would they be the ones? People came and went, but nothing happened for the first 10 minutes.
