It was about a week before thanksgiving 2016, James had stopped in to have Maria sign paperwork for her final month of work, James made small talk and asked “Have anything going on for thanksgiving eve?” ... Maria responded “going Dowport with my cousin” James then said “what are the chances, I’ll be downport with my cousin.” They unfortunately never saw each other that night, but it left James thinking about Maria. That black Friday, he called Maria and asked her out to dinner for Saturday, November 26th, 2016... and the rest is history.
