Maddie Glover and Sam Jones' Wedding Website

We continued our friendship for the next 3 months, after all he was a best friend to me. He was in Jacksonville, Florida and I was in Austin. I thought nothing of our texting and occasional phone calls since that’s what friends did. Then November 30th, Sam came to Austin for a job interview. He had always wanted to move to Texas, so I was truly just excited to see my friend. I picked him up from the airport and we ended up spending the day together going around Austin. We went to several awesome locations that were super beautiful and Sam didn’t give any hints that in his heart, he wanted to be more than friends. I sincerely had no idea, and he thinks it’s wild that I didn’t know but what was I supposed to do, putting my heart out there for a possibility that might not happen? I don’t think so. I note that the locations were super romantic because come December 1st at a little after midnight (I worked night shifts so this was “after work” for me), we decided to stay up all night since he had to be at the airport at 5 am and I didn’t have work the next day. So, we ended up going to a bar, since we promised to get margaritas together to celebrate the end of our last summers of camp but that never happened in August, so we did it then and there. While sipping margaritas, I asked him the very normal question of, “So if you had to choose between the job in Dallas and the job in Austin, which one would you take?” since he had just interviewed in Dallas a week prior. After the longest pause ever, he finally answered, “I’d choose the one in Austin, because I’d want to be closer to you.” Cue my whole body getting instantly hot. He went on to say some other stuff about wanting to pursue but in my head, I was telling myself to just play it cool and say something normal. So, I replied, “But really, if I weren’t here which one would you choose?” I then proceeded to ask him if we could take a walk and ended up unpacking what just happened.
