Kara and Cody first met at Etage Gym. Cody was a regular who always started his Mondays with a workout, and Kara was usually there early working while the gym got going. For a while, their interaction was simple — a quick “good morning” every Monday morning. Eventually those weekly hellos turned into short conversations, and they started getting to know each other little by little. After some encouragement (and maybe a little peer pressure) from friends, Cody finally decided to ask Kara out. One Monday he asked if she’d want to grab a drink sometime. Kara told him she didn’t drink, which definitely caught him off guard however quickly followed it with, “but I’d love to go out to eat.” So they went out for Thai food, and that dinner ended up being the start of everything.
