Ludwig let out a soft yawn as he turned off his alarm clock from his morning alarm. It was early, though the German was no stranger to being up so early in the day. This was his morning routine; get out of bed, get a shower, shave, get dressed, slick his hair back, then leave for work. It was like clockwork.

Being an engineer was not a particularly hard job, though it could be stressful at times. He was a young guy in his field and the job he worked at was full of well seasoned employees who sometimes gave him trouble for being both single at thirty two as well as how tight lipped he was. Though they were all pretty nice, if not too enveloped in trying to decipher the younger man’s personal life. Ludwig also got along well with them, so that was good as well. They were all friendly and it made it easier to handle their pestering.

That particular day, Ludwig’s older friend at the job site approached him and offered to set him up with one of his kids. They were around Ludwig’s age and he thought they might be a good fit. Ludwig was not huge on dates or the idea of dating, though he chose to do it to both be kind and hope that this would get him off of the radar for a bit if he went out this one time.
