Joanne and Daniel went to the same high school after Joanne transferred to West Stanly her junior year. Daniel was a senior and Joanne remembers seeing him early in the school year and thinking he was cute but never talked to him. They had several friends in common but never talked to each other and were never in the same group at the same time. Fast forward to the summer of 2017 and the two reconnected. After their first date of going kayaking (and getting stuck in a thunderstorm), Daniel hasn't been able to get rid of Joanne no matter how hard he tries.
