Chris was a server/bartender at a soul food restaurant in Oakland, and Rachel had brunch there with two of her friends one fateful Sunday morning 6 and a half years ago. Though he wasn't their server, Chris refilled their water glasses- way too many times. Rachel had a sneaking suspicion he had other motives, and at the prodding of her friends, left her number for "the bearded guy" at their table, as they promptly rushed out of the restaurant. Chris texted her a couple hours later, with pretty much zero chill, and the rest is history <3
