They met at a new joiners luncheon at the office mid September. Lauren worked at the office first as an intern where she had met another girl who would later be part of Blaze's group of new hires. When Lauren met with her for lunch, after a quick scan of the group, her eyes settled on Blaze and she thought "Wow. He's really cute." Luckily for her, her new friend would end up assigned a cubicle right next to him. Coffee breaks turned into joking by the cubicles which lead to daily walks around the parking lot. The more they saw of each other the harder it was to keep them apart.
