Kitt and Heather met in preschool when they were 4 years old. They were backyard explorers and swimming lesson buddies together until kindergarten. Though they grew up 5 minutes apart, they didn't stay close after Heather left normal society to be a home school kid, so they did not become close friends again until 2008 in biology class at Harvard on the James (Tidewater Community College at the old Portsmouth campus). When Heather left for college in August 2009, they both knew they'd likely never see each other again, but when life brought Heather back to the area in 2017, Kitt only waited a few weeks after seeing Heather driving down the road before asking her to dinner. They cannot imagine life without one another now.
