We both interviewed for a job at the new casino on the same day. We didn’t actually meet that day, but it was the first time Jared laid eyes on me. I didn’t notice him just yet. Fast forward about a month later to April 2019, the casino wasn’t open to the public yet. Jared and I spent a week or so just staring at each other from across the casino. I was captivated by him. His style, his demeanor, something about him, I was hooked. I didn’t even know his name, but I told my coworker, Theresa, “I don’t know who he is, but I want him. And I don’t mean in the bedroom, I mean I want this man to be in my life. He doesn’t know it yet, but he is gonna be my man. Just watch.” We ended up bumping into each other in the hallway, and it was the first time we actually spoke words to each other. We introduced ourselves, and told each other what our positions with the casino were and ended finding out not only were we scheduled for the same shift, but we had the same days off. It was like it was meant to be. We started talking more at work, then exchanged phone numbers when Jared invited me over for Dinner on Mother’s Day. That is where he met my daughter Jackie, and the day we shared our first kiss. We have been inseparable ever since.
