We met at Subway when Alyssa was a Sophomore in college and Jake was working in Worthington. Jake came into Subway almost everyday for a few months. They hung out a few times and went their separate ways. About 9 years later Jake messaged Alyssa "Happy Birthday". Alyssa said "Thank you" and that was that. A month later Alyssa saw Jake alone at Walmart on Black Friday and messaged him. They hung out a few weeks later. They continued to hang out for a few months. On New Years Eve Alyssa asked him "So what are we?" He said "I don't know, you wanna go out some time?" and the rest is history.
