We were in line at Chipotle, on a cool November evening in the City of Brotherly Love, after a long day's worth of classes. I was thinking about my next exam, and how I was nowhere near prepared for it. He was in line right behind me, thinking about if he should get a bowl or some tacos. I ordered my bowl, only to realize I didn't have my wallet on me. I was so embarrassed...but as I was about to return my meal, Ryan (or should I say my knight in Chipotle-flavored armor) offers to pay for my meal. I was taken back by his kindness. We sat and talked while we ate. And then we talked for another day. And another...and another. And the rest, you'd say, is history.
