31 December 2019. Who are you?

I began my day as any other. I arrived to work only to see that we had a visiting manager working that day. "Hi" was all I could muster to say. Not because I was nervous, but because I was unsure of her reasoning being there. Skip ahead to that evening; I found out that Miranda would be working in the kitchen as we were short handed. I too would be working in the kitchen that night as a food runner. All night I was sure there was some chemistry brewing as she would flash a smile every now and then.

2 January 2020. The best day.

Miranda decided to transfer and join the management team at my location. I was still unsure of her but she made great conversation and was fun to be around. She really made work fun. There was something about her.

16 March 2020. Thanks Covid!

Covid-19 officially had shut down the country. I was one of the lucky few chosen to work through the pandemic. During the next six weeks, Miranda and I would grow closer as we spent nearly everyday working nonstop. We were now, "essential".

9 September 2020. The worst day. Kind of.

Miranda casually mentioned to me that she would be leaving my location to open a brand new Longhorn in Alpharetta. I can't even begin to describe how sad I was when I heard this. But the only thing that I was able to say was, "So we can be friends when you leave right?" She laughed at me but happily said yes.

28 October 2020.

Miranda officially reported Longhorn in Alpharetta to continue her new restaurant opening career. She was no longer my superior and that meant we could now be open about our growing relationship.

The rest is, as they say, history. I have never been happier than when I am with Miranda. She is the light of my life and I absolutely cannot wait to spend the rest of eternity with her. The universe usually knows what it is doing and it truly knew when it sent her to me.
