Twenty Seconds.

"All it takes is 20 seconds of insane courage and great things will happen.

I promise."

-We Bought a Zoo

We walked into Sparks and he was the first person I saw.

A striped long sleeve henley, and jet black hair.

He was there with one other guy friend.

They sat at a corner table and when we finally got seated, 

we were in the perfect spot across from them.
He and I made eye contact multiple times throughout the night.

We could tell they were getting ready to leave and so one of my good wingmen insisted I buy him a drink.

So we had the waitress send over a drink with a paper that said,

"Enjoy the drink! 

#801xxxxxxx"

My phone number.

He smiled and waved when the drink was brought over.

Then they got up to leave.

He came over and introduced himself.

Caleb.

Then a few minutes after they left, 

I got a text message.

And after a few clever texts,

We made a date.

For tonight.

Things like that happen in movies and I never thought it would work for me.

Well for all the single ladies out there, a little bit of bravery goes a long way.

And sure, there is a chance he could end up being weird.

Or we may never speak again after tonight.

But karma has a way of working everything out.

And if you put yourself out there, something good will come eventually.

So, send a stranger a drink.

And wish me luck with my stranger.
