Once upon a time Eric and his sister showed up to The Made in Virginia store where Carrie’s was working. Carrie was a little shocked because most guys spend weeks in the texting phase on online dating sites. Eric skipped the formalities of the obligatory texting phase and showed up IN REAL LIFE to ask Carrie for a dinner date. Carrie was reassured by the kind sister and excited by his how tall he was. So she decided to join them for dinner after work. They all went to Logan’s Road House. Eric and Carrie were sitting beside each other and kept bumping arms because she is right handed and he is a lefty. After supper she asked Eric to go to the fair with her and he did. They saw the animals, rode the Farris wheel,listened to Steve Jerrel and ate funnel cake. That night they sat on the swing at Eric’s parent’s house talking for hours.Looking up they saw a shooting star. Carrie and Eric have been going steady ever since.
