It all started when the universe brought Tim and Lynne together through a small tech company in Portland, Oregon. Tim and Lynne bonded over Tim's love for his daily intake of 7 cups of coffee. Ok, not really 7 cups but enough to have her notice him walking by her desk constantly. Her desk was next to the isle so he would pass her several times a day making his way to the break room. They were friendly and would occasionally make eye contact and say "Hi" to one another. As time went on, she would joke with him about how many cups he is on, making sure he's not drinking too much caffeine. Her care for his well being was subliminally present and love was brewing right under their noses. They would chat through their work messenger mostly about work but always followed by a quick chat of what was going on in their lives at the time. However, that was the extent of their relationship or so Lynne thought. The office provided a keg but some people liked to go out after work at the local biker bar, Kellys Olympian. One night Lynne and her friends were closing their tab when she ran into Tim and his buddy, Craig. Her friends said their goodbyes and Lynne decided to have one more drink with her co-workers. Craig slipped away and Tim and Lynne shared their first drink together. They ended up chatting for a bit and had a wonderful time. He walked her to her car and the night ended. After that night a few months passed and they never hung out outside of work and kept it pretty professional. Tim had a secret crush on Lynne but never made a move. Such a gentleman he was. One night after business hours they were both still working away in the office. There were a only a handful of people left and Tim messaged Lynne what a long day it was for him. Lynne felt the same. They were both exhausted and ready to decompress. Tim knew Lynne liked whiskey and had a bottle in his desk. While others wrapped up their shift and headed to the break room for a cold beer, Tim messaged her asking if she wanted some desk whiskey. She was all for it! She ran to the break room, grabbed a coffee cup and walked over to Tims desk. Tim pulled out the bottle of whiskey out of his desk, not making any comment of the amount that was left. He poured it into her cup. The cup barely made a single shot. She looked over at him and slightly chuckled and said "Did you wanna go get a drink?" The rest was history!
