I had been working for Lil Woody's as a cashier after I recently moved back to Seattle from Los Angeles for a little over a month back in 2018 when in walks this pretty customer with what I had thought was her friend (turned out to be her cousin).

As the two women browsed the menu, I stood at my point of service and patiently waited for them to make up their minds (A moment that lasted longer in my own mind as I was a bit nervous to take their order... you know how it goes; attractive lady walks in and the world stops spinning for that moment).

Up come the two ladies - I don't remember what her cousin ordered - but I remember till this day that Liz ordered The Fig & The Pig with a side of Onion Rings.

Once the order was ready, I delivered their food to the right side window booth where the two sat and for a whisper of a moment, Liz caught my eye with her beautiful dark brown eyes as we shared this brief non verbal connection as I placed the baskets of food down on the table.

I recall her at some point asking for a ranch sauce which we usually charge customers for, but since she was reciprocating my flirtatious interactions, I gave her the ranch on the house. During the evening we eventually struck up a quick conversation, afterwards I introduced myself and shook Liz's hand.

I must have been on my A game that evening because after she finished her meal, Liz slipped me her number written on a small piece of paper... that was the first time any girl had slipped me her number without asking for it ;)

I love you Elizabeth for coming into my life the way you did in the fashion you did - something classic; something charmingly disarming and something I still reminisce about to this day.
