We both ended being part of the same Finance Unit In the National Guard. We had talked here and there but there never was more to it. One day we exchanged number and since we both worked night shift we started talking and getting to know each other. Then one day after the rest of the crew bailed on our night out, it ended being just him and I and that became our first date. We have been together since and I am pretty sure we both are thankful that our friends decided not to join us that night.
