Finalllllly

8 years ago, Ben and Lauren met playing co-ed flag football in Chicago. She had terrible hands, but great eyes. They were both dating other people. 2 years later, fate (Heidi Goltermann) brought them back together for a second time. The setting: a mutual friend's gig at a shitty dive bar. Lauren brought her mom along. Ben thought that was cool. Per usual, Ben was unacceptably excited. A couple days later, he asked her out for tacos. Margaritas ensued. They've been eating together ever since.
