Kevin and Bri met while working for an airbrush cosmetics company. Being the outgoing person she is, Bri started talking to Kevin about all sorts of things because, well, everyone knows how much she's a chatterbox. It also helped that she thought Kevin was really cute. She enjoyed how much he listened and laughed at all of her jokes. Being the more introverted and reserved one out of the two, Kevin appreciated how at ease he felt being able to talk with Bri. She made it easy to open up, and he loved her outgoing and direct personality. They bonded over TV shows, costumes, and Kings hockey. They started sending daily emails to each other (akin to romance letters you'd send someone you were courting in the days before computers). As Christmas Eve came around, much to everyone's chagrin, no one had the day off, and everyone had to come into the office. Sadly for Bri, after she brought in homemade rum balls and a gift for the CEO (a coffee mug adorning the words "World's Best Boss"), she was called into the main office and was fired. Yep. Merry Christmas; here's your last paycheck! Kevin, upset that he'd never see Bri again, helped box up all of her things, and made her take the gift coffee mug with her ("He's NOT the world's best boss!" Kevin said emphatically), and helped her to her car. He made sure he had her number and asked if she needed anything at all as Bri held back the tears. He hugged her tightly before she left. Kevin checked in on Bri through text and calls until they finally saw each other after the New Year at Tonga Hut... They snuggled up in a booth next to each other for the first time and ordered some rum cocktails. Little did they know that there would be many, many more times after.
