Adam was either going to go to school for acting, or join the army. He got into Pace and one other school. Ava had committed somewhere else, and a few days before she had to move, she decided to switch schools. They both ended up attending Pace, and met freshman year of college on the first day. They became friends fast, and were paired for countless projects, class assignments, and spent nearly every waking hour together (with Gannon, too). They both said separately, they knew they were going to get married- they just thought it would be many, many years before anything would start up. One night watching movies, Ava put her hand a little too close, and Adam grabbed it. He proposed a little less than two years later.
