Heather was working front desk at Hampton Inn when John starting working there in maintenance. Heather didn't like John AT ALL when he first started. Over time they began talking more at work, which turned into messaging each other all the time. John offered Heather a coupon to go see the lights at Bristol Motor Speedway because "he didn't have anyone to take". Heather knew he was too scared to ask her to go, so her reply was, "why don't you just ask me to go with you?" And then the rest was history!
