Daniel and Taylor met at Fodys Tavern in late May of 2015. Taylor was sitting at the end of the bar with her book and a glass of Merlot. Dan was dragged out to a night of Karaoke by their now mutual friend, Meredith. When Daniel saw her sitting alone he knew he had to introduce himself. Angel Cora was managing the bar that fateful night and was forced into playing the role of cupid. After an hour or so of Daniel's pleading, Angel's reluctance was warn down by his persistence. Angel approached Taylor proposing she say hello to Dan and save him the headache. After much back and forth, Taylor vacated her corner haven and introduced herself to her admirer. As the night went on Daniel and Taylor's laughter filled the bar. He summoned the courage to ask her to dinner the next evening and Taylor accepted the invitation. Alas, Daniel was so taken with their conversation he forgot to save her phone number prior to closing. His cellphone died in his pocket later that evening. The next day, when Daniel went to contact Taylor, he came to the horrible realization he did not save her phone number. Daniel went to the bar every night for two weeks hoping he would find the blonde with the taste for red wine, but she did not show. Daniel begged Angel for her phone number but Angel would not budge. After days of bombardment Angel promised he would text Taylor on Daniels behalf. Daniel waited two more weeks with no contact. Then, on his busiest day of the month at work, Dan received a phone call from an unknown number. Taylor called to invite him to Fodys for a glass of wine. Daniel was so overwhelmed with his work he declined. After hanging up the phone Daniel looked around and seized his moment telling his co-worker that he had to leave. After racing home to wash off the smell of seafood Daniel realized he forgot his house keys in his work locker. He broke into his home and then raced to the bar. From that moment on, Taylor and Daniel were inseparable.
