We both worked at restaurants in our early 20s. When I (Stephanie) got off one night, I was supposed to meet my parents for dinner at our favorite Salvadorian spot. My parents got there first, and called to tell me it was closed, so we decided to stay somewhere in the area; BJs. Paul was our server. I definitely thought he was cute, and the next time I stopped in with friends he recognized me. He waved, I smiled. And unbeknownst to me, my friend was writing down my number on a coaster to leave for him. I got a text the next day, and the rest is history. He still has the coaster ❤️
