After finishing dress shopping with a friend Tori-Lyn and the friend were eating an early dinner at Red Lobster. Tori-Lyn struggled with eating her food as every time she went to take a bite, Thomas, a bus boy at the time kept coming by making it impossible for her to take a bite. Finally, the friend told Thomas to put his number on a napkin and to stay away so she can finally eat. Later that night, they went on their first date after his shift at the Main Street cinema to watch Eagle Eye. The rest is history.
