Oddly enough, Nick & Ash have known each other for close to eighteen years through mutual friends & social circles. From seeing each other at Cozmic mic nights, to random days on Main Street, Ash may have even made him a mix cd once or twice. Right before Ash moved away for college, she had a spot selling random knick-knacks and some framed prints of her photography at the Diamond Springs swap meet, wouldn't you know it, Nick bought a photo print back then, which hung in his rooms throughout the years. During 2020, they reconnected and ended up talking most nights, then over time spent most weekends with each other, then, eventually that became their everyday, they knew they wanted to come home to their best friend.
