In high school, Jayk and Madeline were involved in choir and theatre together, even sitting at the same lunch table with their friends. In 2010, when Madeline was a Senior and Jayk was a Sophomore, the two of them starred in the musical "Into the Woods" as the Baker and the Baker's Wife. Even after graduating high school, Madeline would frequently go to see Jayk perform in musicals and plays. However, eventually they lost touch. Fast forward to 2015. Madeline was about to graduate from college and Jayk had just moved back to Sherman and was working at Jimmy John's. Madeline ordered dinner at work and, much to both of their surprise, it was Jayk that delivered her food. They've been inseparable ever since.
