Steve and Nicole grew up 1.5 miles from each other's doorstep and never knew it. Steve and Nicole had mutual friends, and their names sometimes sounded familiar in stories, but they went to different high schools in the district and weren't able to put faces to the names until 2019. A mutual friend invited them both to a drive-on beach day. In a White Claw induced day of fun, we'll say they hit it off...at first. Lopsided degrees of interest caused tension in their new friendship, and Nicole decided she never wanted to see the likes of Steve again. It wasn't until the world shut down in 2020, that another beach day brought them together. Nicole pleaded with their mutual friend, "Steve can't come"...but ultimately she wasn't driving and it wasn't her decision to make. They talked trough their differences and weekly beach trips became a staple of Spring 2020. They became close, told each other way too much, and looked forward to Gilgo Beach days to see one another. By May, Steve wanted to go on a boys trip with his friend, and they regrettably started planning right in front of Nicole and Casey. The girls heard about the trip, and without an invitation to join declared "we're coming". So they all planned their "boys trip" to Myrtle Beach in early June of 2020. The rest is history.
