David and Mallory met through a mutual friend prior to the game that Georgia Tech fans will fondly remember as "The Miracle on Techwood." They spent the game together in the stands talking, laughing, and getting to know each other. It was going well until David disappeared to storm the field after the crucial field goal, leaving Mallory all alone in the stands. After leaving David's text message on read for 14 hours, Mallory finally responded to accept an invitation to get coffee the following Wednesday morning at the Tech Square Starbucks. David told her he had class at 9:30 so he'd have an escape plan. He didn't need it though - they sat and talked for three and a half hours.
