On a warm August night, Holly headed to her good friend Erin's birthday party. After recently hitting an emotional slump, she was very excited to have a little fun and shake it off. Little did she know what her friends had in store for her; the Love of Her Life! Joe was invited to this party specifically to meet an unwitting Holly. To her, Joe was just a cute boy there wearing a shirt that said "Fear the Beard". She was not fearful, but she was intrigued. There ensued several beverages and a slew of bad jokes (which is obviously the best kind of joke), which culminated in them laughing the night away with plans to see each other casually. As you can probably tell, the casual part didn't pan out, but no one's complaining about that.
