In September 2017, Kyle was friends with Kaylee's roommate of the time. They had run into each other twice before, but did not speak. Then, one night in the UNCW dining hall, they spoke for the first time. Kaylee asked Kyle for his Biology homework & they exchanged numbers through her roommate. After Kaylee got Kyles homework, she said thank you and thought they would never speak again. Instead, Kyle decided to keep the conversation going. The next day, they realized that they were in the same psychology class, sitting one row apart. For a week straight, Kyle decided he was going to get breakfast with Kaylee everyday after class, even though he doesn't eat it, just to spend time with her, leaving Kaylee to look forward to her 9 AM's just so she could see and spend time with Kyle. At the end of September, Kaylee's roommate invited Kyle to the beach with them one evening. Kaylee and Kyle connected, discussing their similar music interests and were able to converse with ease. Kyle then went to watch a Halloween movie in Kaylee's dorm, where they stayed up talking about everything under the sun until 6 AM. From there on out, they were inseparable. Kyle continued to eat breakfast with her daily, and did not tell her why until years later.
