Daniel met Sophia on a sunny day in Fayetteville, North Carolina while squatting at his friend Andrew’s house. As Sophia arrived to greet her friend Julia, who was actually paying rent, Daniel was leaving to go for a run. Daniel, quite stricken with her radiant beauty and natural charm, did what any sensible man might do in his situation; he held his head low and avoided eye contact. This began a budding courtship where Sophia would attempt time and again to catch Daniel’s eye only to be met with his absolute lack of romantic awareness. Daniel for his part continued his studies briefly questioning if this beautiful girl was actually interested in him or merely a friendly girl. For those curious, the signs Daniel missed included two long phone calls from Sophia, an uptick in text messages, an invitation to meet her family, and a full-fledged date that Daniel didn’t realize he was a part of. Not to mention the countless jokes and lingering looks that went right over his head along the way. However, in spite of himself Daniel was able to slowly realize this odd girl that continued talking and hanging out with him was probably interested in him. Thus began Daniel’s counter pursuit of the delightful Ms. Sophia Darakjy.
