Two glasses of Rosé & Carly Rae Jepsen

Russ was hitting on another woman: to begin with. Kati, after a particularly terrible week, was taking solace in a glass of Rosé at Ghibellina Restaurant with her friend, Mo. As one glass turned into two, a group of stunningly handsome men walked into Ghibellina for a much anticipated night out on the town. A particularly gregarious (and boyishly handsome) member of the group (Russ), walked up to the bar. Kati was intrigued! Was it his smile, his white shirt, or the Rosé...we will never know, but as Kati finished off her glass, she did something that would change the course of these two people's lives forever....she wrote....a note! Not wanting to waste this moment of ambition, Kati turned over her receipt and wrote the first thing that came to mind....the famous (and horribly overused Carly Rae Jepsen lyric) "Hey I just [saw] you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me maybe"...she scribbled quickly, passed it to the bartender, and dashed out of the bar (forgetting her purse in classic Kati fashion). Oblivious, Russ (wingmaned by Kyle Salous) was hitting on two ladies at the bar. After exchanging numbers and setting up a date, Russ retreated to his friends, victorious! Wanting one more drink before the night was through, Russ walked up to the bar and ordered a round. The bartender handed Russ the drinks along with a curious note and a smile. Russ, confused (and little drunk), was intrigued! Back amongst friends, a furious debate arose over how to respond to this secret admirer. Was she still there? What did she look like? After much debate, the group settled on a text reusing the Carly Rae lyrics (h/t Vishal). A few hours later, a date was set. The next day, Russ, 10 minutes late, approached a beautiful girl at Tryst. He said hello, pronounced her name incorrectly, and then sat down for coffee. Coffee turned into drinks. Drinks turned into Lamb Sagg (Russ was trying to impress Kati....it worked!). And the rest, you ask? Well, it's history...

For all the days along the way
