if you go with contractor then he could've worked on the house xio had remodeled. the project was just completed maybe a couple weeks ago, so it's all still fresh. she would've been very involved in the process, giving them the opportunity to form a friendship. if you go with bar owner, then they could've met through his establishment. she co-owns a cabaret/gentlemen's club in portland, where she moved from about 5 months ago, and totally gets the hustle of the business.
