Brides’ Side I was running behind on my day and rushed to my car forgetting something I needed. I decided to stop at the store right in front in my neighborhood. Saw my friend Meera was working which lead to friendly banter as usual. My attention was snagged when my eye caught the handsome man walking from the back room behind her. I smiled with excitement from the confidence that took over me and had to interrupt to ask her; “Who is that guy?” She tells me it’s her manager, his name is Kris and he is newly single. Intrigue turned to determination when she asked his permission to share his phone number with me. And he said yes. So in a simple statement: If I had never stopped in that day and decided to shoot my shot on a random Tuesday in October 3 years ago, you wouldn’t be reading this.
