Megan’s neighbor at the time, Ashley, would babysit Martin’s daughter when she would come up from Myrtle Beach to stay with him for the summer. We knew of each other and had seen each other in passing, but hadn’t really interacted much. The summer of 2020 we started talking more when Martin would pick up his daughter from the Zeiders’. On Christmas Day, 2020, Martin texted Megan Merry Christmas and we learned that neither of us had plans for Christmas afternoon. Megan went over to hang out with Martin and we had a great afternoon of talking and getting to know each other. After that afternoon, we started spending more time together and decided to make our relationship official!
