Sometimes things come along before we're quite ready for them. Sometimes, they come too late. But, if we're lucky, sometimes things happen exactly when they should.
Adam and Cierrah could have met in 2017, when Adam transferred to Cierrah's college. But, they didn't.
They could have met at any time during the two years that followed. Instead, Adam walked past Cierrah's art on display every day, and both remained oblivious.
They could have met at graduation, when they graduated on the same day, in the same place, just an hour apart.
Instead, they met at Chipotle.
Every Friday without fail, Adam would pick up his family's Chipotle order. Every Friday, he would notice the cute worker who somehow always ended up being the one to handle his order. He would think about working up the courage to talk to her, but inevitably decided not to be the guy to bother her at work. His family teased him about Chipotle Girl -- until one day, her shift changed, and he assumed he would never see her again.
Meanwhile, Cierrah noticed that cute, nerdy guy who always came on Fridays and was always so polite. She didn't think much on it at the time, but always had a smile ready for a friendly face. When her shift changed, she was a bit sad not to see him any longer, but life went on.
Then, in 2019, Cierrah found herself on a dating website, searching for the biggest geek she could find. A message popped up, "Do I know you from somewhere?" She thought it was a pickup line, until she checked out his profile and saw his face.
"YOU'RE CHIPOTLE GUY!!"
The rest, as they say, is history. ❤️
