It all happened because I bought the wrong ticket to the Belmont Stakes. I was so excited to go to my first horse race with my best friend Alissa and her Boyfriend Kyle, third wheeling as usual back then. I met them on the train in Stamford thinking I was all set with my ticket, you see... I thought GA meant general admission... in this case it did not! I realized too late that I bought a ticket to Belmont Georgia! My phone wouldn't let me buy another and so on came full panic mode... and then Travis! He was sitting a couple seats back and looked up when he heard me worrying, he smiled and offered to buy me a ticket. And we didn't talk again for the whole day! Hours, many many drinks, and bad bets later we were all heading back to the train home. There were no seats in the crowded car, so I sat next to the nice boy who saved my day (Trav). We were having fun, talking and joking together when our friend Kyle came over and said, "Travis, take Christina on a date". And that was that. Thanks Kyle!
