She thought he was cute and it all started October 31, 2015. It was the annual Faith Center Halloween carnival when we first met. Marissa was leading a game, while Thomas was a floater. Thomas had come around and given Marissa's friend a lollipop. Marissa asked for one and Thomas went all the way across the campus to get her one. She thought he was cute but didn’t say much. He returned with the lollipop that Marissa never ate. The real adventure began November 19, 2015.
