Sam's cat Nova had a problem. She had the worst separation anxiety when Sam left the house for walks with the dog. Nova would SCREAM at the top of her lungs bothering neighbors, children, and the general public. But Sam had a solution, she would walk Nova on a harness and leash, so she wouldn't be alone and a neusence. So enters Michale, one apartment building over and one floor up. Watching, wondering who is this weirdo walking her cat around. Of course Michale is intrigued, who wouldn't be? So, he decided to come over and introduce himself.
With the entire city shut down or evacuated for hurricane Irma, Michale invited Sam to a hurricane party, because in the South they don't panic, they party. After a weekend of board games, laughter, and braving the storm, they decided to have breakfast. It was their first date, and that was it.
