I met Cody in January 2015 when I was a server and he was a guest. Meeting Cody was completely by providence. Not only had I picked up the extra shift, but I had also decided to stay until close when I had been scheduled for an early out. And that table--the one him and his friend sat at, at the restaurant his friend had chose--had not even been in my section. He left his number on his receipt with no name and a scribbled "Would you go to dinner with me?" I hadn`t known to text him, finally giving in when my mom encouraged me, "Was he nice? Respectful? Why not just call him, it`s a message not a proposal." Turns out, that`s exactly what it was.
