Our Story

Riley’s POV

I had just switched from the postpartum unit to the NICU and was still adjusting to my new routine. It was only my second day training on day shift, and after weeks of working nights, I was completely exhausted. When I was on nights, I’d keep myself on schedule by going out dancing almost every evening — it had become my favorite way to unwind. That Thursday night, The Stillery in Happy Valley was hosting one of their DJ dance nights. I remember driving home after work, debating with myself the whole five minutes — should I go out or just stay in? I was tired, but something in me said, “just do it.” So I did. I didn’t have plans to meet anyone; I just went alone for a few dances. That’s when I met Clint. I noticed him on the dance floor with someone else, and when their song ended, I asked if he wanted to dance the next one with me. The next song that came on wasn’t really one either of us wanted to dance to, so we waited until the next one — and that’s when the sparks started to fly. Not long after, Clint requested “Honky Tonk Floors” by Cody Johnson, got my info, and that’s where it all began.
