Her first day on the job at The Cheesecake Factory... She asked him politely and almost shyly, "Um hey. Can you show me how to clock in?" He retorted quickly with a snarky tone, "That nose ring has to go." She leveled up with a feisty rebuttal, "Your boss hired me with it, so talk to him." .... and the rest was history. They worked together for a little over a year, and then she was offered a position with another company. He asked her out officially shortly thereafter.
