Ryan and I went to high school together during our senior year. We were both in a technical program to become pharmacy technicians by the time we graduated. Our class had two teams. He was one team leader, and I was the other, but we were both seeing someone else at the time, so barely a glance or a sentence was exchanged during the entire year. A few years later, in college, I was attending a party that Ryan's roommate was hosting. He was sitting in a chair over in the corner talking with his friends and we both had a "Hey, you!" moment when we locked eyes. Now, we both were working as pharmacy technicians for Walgreens. This was a bonding moment that only Walgreens employees can truly understand. Soon after, my sister started dating his roommate, and Kate talked AJ into inviting Ryan along for a double date. He accepted, and the relationship was comfortable from the start. He leaned down to kiss my head during the movie at the same time that I looked up at him, and he caught my lips. My heart did flips and Kate audibly squealed from 3 seats over (and I could've killed her). We swapped phone numbers at the end of the date. Our first solo date was the next weekend on Valentine's Day. The rest of our story unfolded just as quickly and naturally as the beginning.
