rooney was in portland for a few days in july 2017 touring with john mayer. does she go to bars much? they could have been two lone barflies who struck up conversation, he bought her a drink or two, and if they hit it off well enough he would've invited her to spend the following day at cannon beach with him. he was in the marine corps for nearly ten years and although he doesn't have ptsd himself, plenty of the people he served with do so i could see them finding common ground if she opened up about it.
