Xavier and Molly met while working with their first airline, Mesa Airlines, out of Houston. Xavier, the captain of the flight, and Molly, the lead flight attendant, worked a flight to Harlingen, Texas. Molly quickly had an eye for Xavier, especially after she fell out of the shuttle van right into Xavier's arms. Molly then began nearly four months of throwing subtle hints at him. Xavier......didn't catch a single one. It wasn't until another flight to El Paso did Molly realize she had to be straightforward with the rather thick headed captain. So, with all the courage she had, Molly confessed her feelings to Xavier. Tequila was also involved. Thus began a whirlwind romance, complete with stalking each others flights and running through Bush Intercontinental Airport for quick meetups at an airport gate.
