Actually, it was Alex's first day of work at a new coffee shop in Savannah, GA, the city she moved to on a whim a couple weeks prior, and Brendon was on a magic quest to council with the tea leaf reading toads of the Savannah marshland, but sought the favor of a most fair maiden and so offered to help her out. (He'd been living here for a while and working at this shop for a few weeks) He also offered to grab her a shift-coffee. Black, cream, sugar, whatever she wanted. After he consulted with the toads, the tea leaves revealed that this maiden was the true reason of the quest. When they'd both finished the shift, he asked her if she wanted to grab a beer down the street. It was 2pm. She was confused. But she figured she'd be like the locals and go, anyway. Brendon was her first friend in Savannah, and he was wonderful. But they didn't date until roughly 6 months later.
