The date was Friday July 5th, 2019. Houston, Steve, and myself were dressed in our "lake best" in search of a few drinks, live music, and a dancefloor. While we did find all of the above at Hill's Resort, what I found was something better entirely. Backing up from a crowded bar, I happened to bump into a server who (not so) politely asked me to get out of her way. That was the first time I laid eyes on Paige. Being that I thought she was hot, I had to make a move. When she came back my direction, I did what any person at a Priest Lake resort would do; I ordered a few slices of Huckleberry pie. Although the kitchen was already closed, she made us the happiest crew at the bar by assuring that she would deliver the goods. As the pies were served and I was paying the bill, I couldn’t help but notice that lovely smile and the eye contact that followed. As she walked away, I looked at Houst and Steve and said, “Did you see that? I think that waitress was feeling me.” They laughingly commented “it’s part of her job description” and left it at that. I was certain that I didn’t misread the situation. So you can imagine my excitement when, a few minutes later, I received conclusive evidence in the form of another genuine smile and direct eye contact. I knew I had to get closer, and the opportunity presented itself shortly thereafter. While shuffling through the crowd, I spotted her walking in my direction and looking right at me. We proceeded, all smiles and with FULL eye contact until we stopped right next to each other. I grabbed her arm and said, “If I catch you staring at me like that again, I am gonna have to buy you a drink.” Her answer was “great, I get off work in 20.” What followed was a night of drinks, conversation, swing dancing, and a well-placed phone number that got me a second date a week later. I still can't believe how it all transpired, and I look forward to getting that eye contact and seeing that smile on our wedding day.
