Adam was either going to school for acting or join the army. He got into Pace and one other school, but decided he wanted to be in New York. 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). 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.
