How We Met

A big thank you to the Starbucks Barista

Caleb and Claire met after seeing each other a few Mondays in a row at a local Starbucks. Caleb mustered up the courage to talk to Claire, and soon they found themselves two hours into a conversation and a closing café. As they left the Starbucks, Caleb and Claire did not exchange phone numbers, instead opting for "see you next Monday!" However, Claire would be working the following Monday evening. In a panic, she asked her mom what to do, as she was enamored with Caleb already. At her mother's suggestion, Claire bought a $5 gift card and wrote her phone number on it. She gave it to Liz, her BFF, and asked her to drop it off near the time Caleb typically showed up. Liz text Claire that Caleb did not, in fact, show up. Claire was heartbroken. A few weeks later, Claire got a text from none other than Caleb, who had gotten to the Starbucks just an hour after Liz handed off the gift card. After mutually missing each other for weeks, both Caleb and Claire had given up hope of meeting again. One night, Caleb went to order his drink and the barista pulled out the gift card. He had been hanging onto it for weeks, hoping Caleb would come in so he could pass it along. Caleb text Claire and they immediately planned their first date at Felix's in Dogtown. The rest is history!
