Zach was in Las Vegas with some buddies from work, sightseeing, eating, and possibly losing a little money at the slots. I was there for a 21st birthday celebration, and within just five hours of landing, my group had already managed to get into some mischief! The trip didn’t go exactly as planned, but in the long run, it worked out better than I could’ve imagined. On one of the calmer nights, I met Zach at the bar in my hotel. Over some snacks and overpriced drinks, we talked for hours about our polar-opposite trips, where we were from, and our families. When we finally said goodbye, I thought that was the last I’d see of him… Fate had other plans!
