When Ally moved to the USA after college, she didn't predict that life's greatest adventure would begin at the local park a few minutes from her parents' house. One afternoon, she mustered up the courage to wander down and join a pickup game. Amongst those strangers was Bashar, who noticed the new English girl with the quick footwork and an easy laugh. Fueled by adrenaline and nerves, he found himself asking her to enjoy a shared love of theirs - sushi! She said yes. But, instead of rushing into romance, they became friends... Ally would tell her friends back home about the boy who takes her to pick up soccer... "Bashar is the kind of man who will wait for any of his friends to get home and unlock the door before driving away... A true gentleman."
