They met at a Grateful Dead tribute festival that their mutual friend, Holden, invited them both to. They were awkward around each other at first. After the festival, Miles asked Lake to go play pool. This is where they hit it off. They bonded over being really bad at it. They also talked and laughed as they played. Neither of them wanted the night to end. So, They went to Love Circle where they watched the sun set over Nashville. Miles gave Lake his jacket and they discussed life, their dreams, and so much more. They were friends for months until they decided to become a couple on January 15th, 2023.
