They met when Jason went to Lori's house to swim with her older brother and his friends. Jason was the only one of them to be concerned for the eight-year-old when it started to thunder and rain. He stayed with her and made sure she exited the pool safely, then scolded her brother for not taking care of his little sister. That earned him no points with the boys and so Jason wound up sitting with Lori and talking while it rained. They barely saw each other again until they were adults but neither of them forgot their friendship. Eventually, they were able to rekindle their friendship and it blossomed into love. Jason and Lori found true happiness in being together and decided to commit their lives to being a joyful family.
