For Valhalla!

Ali was having a conversation with a mutual friend, Jon, about video games at University Pizza, when I came into the bar and was walking by. Jon grabs my arm and says, "Hey Stephen, you like video games." and just like that I was in the conversation. We talked for quite some time about a game Ali was very adamant about, Archeage. When I told her that my computer was not working she said, "Well then get your shit together. Get it all together, and put it in a backpack, all your shit, so it's together. And if you gotta take it somewhere, take it somewhere. You know? Take it to the shit store and sell it. Or put it in a shit museum, I don't care what you do, you just gotta get it together. Get your shit together." After U-Pie closed, Ali suggested playing darts and pool with her at an after-hours bar, PJ's. I accepted. We played a game of darts and a game of pool, then during our second game of darts, Ali realized that I was not hitting on her during any of our games and she wanted me to know how much she appreciated it. We continued to play alternating between pool and dart games, until PJ's closed at six am. We went around the building, where there was an art gallery with a tree growing in the middle of it. We sat on the steps in front of the gallery talking for the next couple of hours. During the conversations, Ali asked if she could kiss me and so we did. Around 8 am it was getting chilly and Ali had to pee so we parted ways for the moment until she texted me to continue our interactions. The more we talked and hung out the more our connection grew.
