Stephen Daniels watched hundreds of legs pass him from an empty shop doorway on Market Street. It had been two months since he found himself sleeping rough in Manchester city centre.
A struggling alcoholic, Stephen had no hopes for his future. He once had a home and a job and lost it all in the blink of an eye.
But that all changed on December 5, 2017. Stephen glanced up from his cold sleeping bag to see a woman stood over him. That woman, Louise Kakanskas, was also homeless. She asked for a lighter and the pair got chatting. Four years later, she would become his fiancée.
