So Marietta went to a restaurant in the Berkeley Marina where she planned to sit in the bar and drink a Margarita. Eat fried calamari. Watch the sun set on the Bay.

But it was the weekend of the Cal-UCLA game. Homecoming weekend at Cal and just after the game. So naturally there wasn't a seat in the bar available.

"I was Damn dejected. And then this gorgeous a man who was sitting by himself at a one of the best tables asked me to join him. At first I thought he was talking to someone else. It's been that long since something like that happened to me."
