Hilary had been living in the bay area and as summer fast approached she was feeling anxious about not being in Tahoe. One morning, she had a fateful phone call with her dearest friend Sydney who told her that she had been to Chris' softball game and it was a blast. Syd shared that they had gotten brews after the game and that Hilary would "just love Chris' coach." Shortly after, Hilary's heart pulled her back to Tahoe and the summer kicked off. Not long after, Leo is performing his elite male softball pitches when he sees two cute chicks on the bleachers. He assumes that one must be Chris' girlfriend, but the other was fair game. After the game the team proceeded to grab some beers and not long after Leo fended off a overly flirtatious teammate, seemingly like a hero. The night ended with Leo capturing Hilary's eye. After a summer of courtship and adventure, Leo assumed Hilary would move away and their relationship would be labeled a summer fling. Luckily for Hilary, she got a job at the same High School they both attended and the relationship sailed onward. Hilary teaching Leo about new iPhone emojis and Leo teaching Hilary electrical basics. Since then, these two have recognized that they are incredibly alike and have developed a very strong love for eachother and a beautiful friendship. Leo's passion, spontaneity, and honesty about life have made Hilary more flexible, open, and strong.
