We met by chance when Laura was visiting her family and followed her brother to a friend's going away party. Mostly to keep spending time with her future sister-in-law and Brother, she tagged along. She ended up spending the whole time talking to Catherine but did exchange info with the host (and person going away) before she left. After all, he was moving to Colorado, maybe they'd actually meet up and hike. Well, after a lot of hiking, baking, cooking, Doctor Who, and climbing, they decided maybe they weren't just friends after all...
