Noah had written several books, and published them on Amazon. Jasmine wanting to support her friend, decided to read his stories. Little did they know, Amazon had other plans for them. For reasons unknown to this day, Amazon refused to allow Jasmine to purchase Noah's books so she could read them, so she did what she thought was the next best option... she messaged the author of the books herself, and asked Noah to send them to her so she could read his story. Jasmine immediately fell for his ability to tell an alluring story, and she did not like that she was left on a cliffhanger either. Jasmine would keep messaging Noah to get more information on the story, to which Noah would answer that it wasn't finished just yet. A couple weeks later, Noah went and visited Jasmine at her job at that time and showed her more of his stories. He noticed how Jasmine became suddenly shy and extremely antsy, but chose not to comment on it, at the time. Following that, Jasmine would show Noah some of the poetry that she had written overtime. Noah told her he was impressed with the stories she had written, but he had to leave soon after. Over the next few days, Jasmine and Noah kept in touch, writing poetry pieces back and forth to one another, and even writing a few collaborative pieces as well. One day, Jasmine wrote a poem that she would call "a psychotic side of being in love", which Noah thought was delightfully clever and well written. Eventually, their shared writing turned into video gaming, and as that darling friendship bloomed, Noah could tell Jasmine was smitten with him. Jasmine simply became so much happier whenever Noah was around, and he knew it. To the keen observer, it might even have been obvious as they played video games, because Jasmine made a notable habit of giving Noah the better items in the game rather than equipping them herself. And a couple days after this show of affection, Noah asked Jasmine to go out to the bar with him, just to chat and have fun with a friend... And this, dear friends, would come to be known as their first date. July 21st, 2023 at 8:00pm, Coaltown Taps, Richlands, VA
