How We Met

Rachel knew bartending would pay off...

It was a slow Monday, pretty normal at Churchills Fine Cigars. Rachel was doing her thing, slanging drinks and giving the regulars crap. Suddenly, in walks a cute bearded guy, much younger than the guys who normally walked in. He looked confused, as most people at the lounge did when they first walked in. Finally, after settling down at the bar and ordering some bourbon (not a difficult choice if you have seen the selection), he said he was waiting on a friend and stepped outside to make a call. Once he confirmed his friend was indeed on the way, he finally started sipping his drink. Rachel and young mystery man began to talk. Man could he talk! After a few sips and some laughs, the buddy he was meeting walked in, one of Rachel's regulars!! Rene, I have no clue where you were hiding Adam for so long but damn am I happy he suggested whiskey and cigars for catching up with you that night! That friendly, talkative, young stranger was of course Adam. That night, after Rachel closed up the bar, she joined but Adam and Rene, along with some other friends, for drinks at Little Woody - where Rachel CRUSHED Adam in a game of Skee Ball (don't believe his lies about letting me win!). Adam may have missed work the next day after staying up drinking on a Monday night but it was well worth it! As they say, the rest is history!

For all the days along the way
