Abel was moving from California back to North Carolina. One of Abel's good friends was dating Keshia's good friend at the time. The two mutual friends were having a fourth of the July cook-out and wanted Abel to come. Since Keshia recently moved to Raleigh, they ask her if she would mind bringing Abel to the party. She didn't mind since it was not an inconvenience. As soon as the two met they instantly hit it off and talked about life the whole ride from Raleigh to Greensboro. After that day they never left each other's side.
