When Paul returned to the office after working from home through Covid, his cube was right next to Brianna's cousin's cube. Each week, Bri's cousin, Kerry, would look over her cube and say "You should date my cousin". After weeks of persistence, Paul finally agreed to text Bri and take her on a date. He thought they'd go on one date and that would be it. On their first date, Paul picked Bri up from her apartment and they went on a hike. What was supposed to be a 3 mile hike, turned into a 6 mile hike after Bri got lost multiple times. After the hike, they went to Doc's for dinner. After the hike, dinner, and drinks, they were together for about 8 hours talking, laughing and people watching. After about a month, Bri convinced Paul to visit her in Creede, Colorado for a week while she was living there for a month. After this trip, they knew it was meant to be and the rest is history.
