I met up with a group of friends at a local gas station to ride our motorcycles to a nearby motorcycle event. Darrel was invited by his cousin Betty to join the ride. When I got there, I realized my front tire was low and needed air, Darrel confirmed it and I drove over to the nearby air pump. Unfortunately, the gas station air pump was out of order and I told the group I would need to go to another gas station for air. Darrel, recommended that we go to the next closest convenience store to use their air pump. Without hesitation, he jumped off his bike and pulled out his card and put it into the air machine. He filled my motorcycle tire and checked to make sure the back tire was good too. I thanked him and we rode down to the event and I didn’t think much more about our interaction. I would occasionally run into Darrel over the next few months at motorcycle events with Betty or at mutual friends birthday party. Then on December 3, 2016, I attended a wedding that ended early and decided to join my motorcycle group Ms. Understood Riders, M.C. at a local motorcycle party they were attending. Darrel was their with Betty and some mutual friends when I arrived. As the night came to a end, everyone was taking selfies. Darrel and I, ended up taking a photo together and I asked if he could send it to me and then he ask if he could call me. Darrel wasted no time and called me a few days later. That call lead to many late night calls and then to our first date. On December 17, 2016, we had our first date and we both were very nervous as we had not been on dates in a while. That date lead to movie dates, lunches, and dinners. On January 17, 2017, Darrel made it clear that he wasn’t looking for a new friend, but a companion and at that moment I knew I couldn't let him go that easily. From that point on, Darrel and I have been inseparable and deeply in love.
