It was our second year at George Mason University, and during Welcome Back Week, each neighborhood on campus hosted themed parties. Naturally, this one centered around games. Emeline was there with a friend from last semester but she just left while scott was there with his roommates Jay, Noah and Carter. Emeline faced Carter in a racing arcade game and Scott was drawn to her spirited personality and radiance. After Emeline moved on to play shuffleboard, Scott mustered the courage to talk to her. They bonded over their mutual love for Mario, walked over to Potomac to play Mario Kart, and later watched Rick and Morty. They had a great time and exchanged numbers. The next day, they met for pizza at the Johnson Center, and nearly seven years later, they are about to embark on a lifetime filled with laughter, fantasy, and magic.
