They met on her first day of work at the east Village Inn in Wichita Kansas. Danielle had to wait at the break table for two hours for her shift to start. The manager had just put out the new schedule, so a group of employees crowded around to get a look. This being her very first job, and being so young, she was super nervous and tried to become as small as possible to get out of peoples' way. Then Parker came and stood right in front of her; less then five inches away, he leaned over to look at the schedule. Retelling this story, he likes to tell people he scared her, but she was just uncomfortable and shy. Over the first year of her employment as a busser, he never took note of her, until she was promoted to hostess. After several years of interaction, she grew very fond of him. She didn't know quite what she was feeling and never thought it would have grown to be something more. He was so mysterious to her, and she wanted to know more about him, but never had the guts to pursue him. After several chance encounters, and one surprising kiss, they found themselves falling further and further in love.
