[ It was the summer of 2014, a young lady by the name of Brandis Holloway, was a new graduate from Bradley University in search of her first big girl job. In the meanwhile, Brandis found her self working at Landmark Cinemas in Peoria, Il. Being in this new environment Brandis was a little shy. Eventually, she was able to get to know her co-workers and even befriended a few, except one of the ushers that she met briefly on her first day. After only being an employee at Landmark for a couple months Brandis graduated to the back stand of the theater. At times being in the back stand was very slow , but talking with the ushers made the time past quickly. One specific usher would always come by the stand and ask for the number of people in each theater. I would kindly tell him the wrong numbers with a big smile and then quickly retract my statement and give him the correct count. This ushers name was Richard Webb and she thought he was pretty cute. Brandis continued to talk to Richard whenever he would pop up at the concession stand. Eventually, small talks turned in to conversations that came very easily to the both of them. From strangers to friends Richard and Brandis enjoy each other company. Richard especially enjoyed when Brandis would hide his water bottle in the break room and leave adorable ransom notes for the missing property. Soon the two exchanged numbers and would text each other late into the night. For Brandis this was very innocent, but Richard was afraid Brandis just wanted to be a booty call. Turns out the two had a lot in common. One Sunday mid September Brandis and Richard were conversing over text and Richard asked Brandis to join him for coffee. Brandis excitingly accepted, though she was not a coffee drinker but, she was for him. Richard met Brandis on the hill top at Starbucks. To Brandis’ surprise Richard purchased 2 tall pumpkin spice lattes. Was this a date??? Brandis wondered. I hope she was impressed I brought her coffee! Richard thought. They sat outside of Starbucks and before they knew it 2 hours had passed, the sun had set, and the temperature dropped 10 degrees. As the evening got later the two went their separate ways leaving excited but also unsure where this relationship may take them. It was to late for them, God had a plan and destiny was set in motion. ]
