So after the first encounter and breaking down that brick wall, we decided it was time to do the deed. At this time in my life I had the life. I owned a nice house with a huge pole barn, had essentially my own auto shop, and an amazingly well paying job. I had cars parked along the side of my pole barn that were cars waiting on either parts, or my free time, to get work done for family, friends, and random customers that family / friends sent my way. I was making good money and had most of my time wrapped up.
It was another HOT and HUMID day. Easily in high 90's with high humidity. I spent the day in the garage working on customers cars while Kate sent me text after text as she was at a pool party. As she got drunker and drunker the more she messaged about how she wished we could meet up, and how bad she wanted it. Here is the catch, I had a line of cars to get done and I had an appointment at 9AM to get breakfast with a good friend, his girl, and their daughter… 8PM rolls around and at this point I have decided fuck it… I might as well join her. She says they are heading to a bar in the middle of BFE. I get the address, get cleaned up, and jump in my truck to head out there.
