Jenna had been at the West Park Bowl in Columbia, Illinois for a few drinks that evening to meet up with high school girlfriends. Unaware of Adam with his friends, who took notice and were planning a smooth approach; offering shots. Jenna sharply declined as she made her way out the door. Later that night Adam inquired more about Jenna with a mutual best friend of theirs; Kaiti Harrington; who later set the two up together.
