How did he rock your world: I didn't even know it was St. Paddy's Day. I was just going to stop there for the Irish Stew that my Gram always liked. She said I should stop there, sometime. Besides, I had been to too many fish fries as of late. So while I waited for my savory meal to go, there he was at the edge of the bar all by his lonesome with a beer. Before I knew it, we were elbow to elbow. I can't say who made the first move. Shamus was from out of town. Of course, I didn't think much of it. We talked about how silly that Green Day used to be at school. "If you didn't wear green, you'd get pinched." We said at the same time with a stupid grin on our faces. 

Yeah, a common line by many, I now think on it. Perhaps he was in a bad way, but I'd never know it. Not that night. We chatted about the town, places we should go if we had the time. I think he mentioned his dog that he missed very much. I didn't think to ask his name. Instead, we  got another beer and watched the night through while my stew went cold. Finally, we got up the nerve to dance. Not quite an Irish jig cause the only songs that played were on the old jukebox and we danced to a slow Creed song I don't know the name of. Anyway, Shamus said it was his favorite band. Little did I know it would be on a sad note, but we kissed anyway in the darkness and I knew then I wanted him to come home with me.
