Chas and Julie met while working in the anesthesia recovery unit. Chas was in his first year of residency and Julie had been there for about a month after transitioning from another unit. One day, Chas kept bringing patients out to the recovery room and Julie was the free nurse. Trying to establish good relationships with the staff, Julie attempted to make Chas smile by making puns out of his last name - Hammer. Chas was not amused by this, but appreciated that she was trying to be friendly....and he thought she was cute. Julie was perplexed that she was not able to get Chas to smile. A few weeks later, Chas brought out another patient to Julie. This time, Julie stated a line from Star Wars: A New Hope. From then on, they had a friendship full of one liners, banter, and at times some genuine conversation about how they were doing. Fast forward a few years, and Chas was nearing the end of his third year of residency and Julie was finishing her master's and would be leaving to work as an NP in the next few months. Chas began to feel the pressure of Julie's impending departure from the unit. And Julie began to notice Chas really cared for her. So in the early hours of a night shift they both worked, Chas asked Julie out on a date....Julie said yes.
