It was just another busy night at Texas Roadhouse restaurant, and Marijah had recently graduated high school and was working at her very first job as a hostess. That night, Pierre walked in for dinner with his dad while visiting from California. As soon as they laid eyes on each other in front of the hostess stand, time seemed to slow around all the chatter and noise from the restaurant and guests. For a moment, it was like something only they could feel: a quiet, but magical, magnetic pull. An electric and trance like pause that two strangers hadn’t been expecting to experience. Throughout the night, they kept sneaking glances at each other, both trying to play it cool. Marijah pretending to scan the dining room and Pierre pretending to pay attention to his meal. Every time she walked past his table or caught him looking her way, the butterflies came back. Before wrapping dinner up and leaving the restaurant, Pierre finally decided to approach her. He stopped her in the middle of the restaurant and smoothly asked her name and if she was a taken lady, while grinning and introducing himself. Marijah responded nervously and laughed softly, trying not to seem too cheesy. After a few back and forth shots, he asked for her number and mentioned how he would love to take her on a date while he’s in town. And just like that, in that moment - their story began and the rest was history.
