During Hayat's first year as a counselor at Broughton High School, she was assigned an intern who would work with her (what were they thinking!). Her intern, Kat suggested that Hayat join her soccer team to help destress after work. Despite minimal soccer experience, but an adventurous spirit, she agreed to join the team. Whether it was her inability to complete a pass, or her general misunderstanding of the game, she somehow was still able to catch Cesar's attention (how could he forget ‘that girl’). After the season ended, and a few months passed, a chance encounter reconnected the two and the rest as they say, is history!
