We went to the same high school together. We shared AP Calculus and clubs together. One of those clubs being tennis. It was during tennis when we were practicing in a rally that Carolyn did her infamous but rare top-spin right into Searcy's eye. It was then that Searcy knew she was really something. Even though Carolyn vehemently apologized and felt guilty for doing the deed.

We reconnected when a mutual friend, MaShawn, invited Carolyn to a game night hosted by another mutual friend, Thea. It was there Carolyn met up with Searcy. At the time, they didn't talk much. But later on, MaShawn brought Carolyn into his friend group and was invited to Searcy's house for another game night. Everyone was playing Magic the Gathering, a game Carolyn had never played before. They all helped and taught her how to play and it soon became a game she thoroughly enjoyed playing to this day.

It was a Sunday. There were many things that should've keyed Carolyn in that something was going on today. First off, her friend Belle told Carolyn to dress up that day with her so that Belle wouldn't feel "odd or standing out" by herself, an issue that wouldn't ever be an actual problem for Belle, and Carolyn did without questioning it. Second, that morning, Searcy examined and compared my fingers to his, something that should've been a dead giveaway, but again, Carolyn thought nothing of it. So they went to church that day (Carolyn, Searcy, Belle, and Cody) as normal and went to have lunch after. They decided to go to Dorothy B. Oven Park instead of their usual spot at Lake Ella to play PokemonGo, a mobile game they all played, because it was closer and was nicer looking. While Carolyn was aimlessly catching pokemon and spinning pokestops, Belle and Searcy were busy planning for the proposal to happen. They were trying to make a last-minute accommodation for Vivian and Tina, who were her sister and sister-alike, to witness this big event. Carolyn thought nothing of the fact they decided to show up out of the blue. As the moment was drawing near, we all headed toward the fountain Searcy was adamantly set on seeing. When Searcy and Carolyn approached it, everyone else pulled back unbeknownst to Carolyn, and Searcy knelt to one knee, also unbeknownst to Carolyn. Searcy asked the question and only then did Carolyn piece together what was going on. She said "Yes!" and everyone congratulated them on their engagement.
