Autumn and Jacob were getting married. Joel was living in Jordan, Montana and had driven ten hours to Spokane in one day - he did not want to drive anymore, but he also didn't have a ride to the wedding in Enumclaw (about 5 hours west). So Autumn reached out to Kyla, knowing she was driving in the morning of the wedding, and asked if she would give Joel a ride. Kyla reached out to Joel, and almost gave up on him when he took like five hours to respond. But he finally did, and she picked him up bright and early the next morning. Five hours in a confined space, and we're pretty sure that's the only way two introverts would've had the courage to talk to each other for that long.
