When we moved off to college Abbie became roommates with Aleeyah, Chase's best friend all through high school. Aleeyah and Abbie had met up before and Chase was mentioned in most of her stories as they were best friends, and Aleeyah mentioned Abbie to Chase after having met her, but that was about the extent of our knowledge of one another. In the evening on move-in day after everyone had gotten fairly settled in Chase went up a floor from his dorm in the University Suites to visit Aleeyah and meet her new roommate- when he walked in he said hello to Aleeyah and immediately asked Abbie if she wanted to go get ice cream. She had some things she wanted to finish up, but he brought her back ice cream anyway. We've basically been inseparable ever since.

Just know that Chase pulled out all the stops for an entire day of their version of extra- including donuts, buying a vinyl record that's been on someone's wishlist for about 6 years, and having a throwback moment to the ice cream he got Abbie when they first met. And that the ring is the ring of her dreams.
