As many already know, Alex and Jacob have always shared mutual friends throughout the years, but never spoke to one another. Alex peaked an interest in Jacob, so she reached out to a friend to exchange phone numbers so they could officially meet at the Blueberry Festival in Burgaw. This was one of those "when you know, you know" moments. Everything fell into place, just as it should. Alex used to think it was a joke that they oddly had so much in common. Whether it was the same silly order at the Mexican restaurant or what characteristics they wanted in their future spouse, they both wanted all the same things.
