Tia's cousin Jackie and Joshua's mom Tracy are on a bowling league together that Tia sometimes bowled on. Josh liked going down to the bowling alley every once in a while to watch his mom bowl and noticed that Tia was there and it was his mission to find out who it was and find out if she was single. That's all it took for Jackie and Tracy to put a plan in motion. Jackie and her husband Joe were suppose to take Tia out for her 21st birthday but instead said that they both weren't "feeling well" and that Josh would take her out for her 21st birthday. Tia was very confused on why they were comfortable letting her go to a bar with a complete stranger but after that night it turned into a beautiful relationship.
