Rachel was living in Phoenix, visiting Wisconsin, interviewing for PA school. John was getting settled into his new job in Milwaukee after a brief stop in Iowa after graduating college. Rachel's brother Sam invited her to come along and climb with friends at Adventure Rock while she was visiting home, and John was already tagging along, jumping head-first into his new climbing obsession. After the gym the group went and got ramen at a now closed restaurant. We've since found better ramen, but we still talk about that night every time we drive by the old one. We chatted here and there a few times before she went back to Arizona, but something remained in John's mind. She might pick Madison...what if she picks Madison?
