He spotted her vivid magenta hair in the group of students one fateful night at a Gator Salsa class at the University of Florida. It was the first salsa class of the fall semester of 2018. He was intimidated by her hair and goth attire- so he didn't speak to her until a full semester later, on the evening of January 31st, 2019. She was having difficulty with an outside turn. She rotated from dance partner to dance partner, unable to get the move down. Then, it was her turn to dance with him. He helped her figure it out. Her heart fluttered. 15 brief seconds later, the pair was instructed to switch partners. At the end of the class, it was time for a round of free-style dancing. He didn't hesitate to ask her to dance. For those ~3 minutes, they danced and spoke about Pokemon. That's how they bonded. The song ended. He asked if he could give her his number. Her phone was dying, so she gave him her number instead. That night, at 10:08pm, he texted her: "Hi Jessika, this is Andres from Salsa" She replied: "Hiya!!!" Followed by three red hearts, already so, so in love with him.
