Neither of them wanted to go out that night. They had both worked late, but had sweet friends who still invited them out to enjoy fireworks, not knowing it would be a day they’d remember forever. When Maria first met Jake, she thought he was a cute younger guy (it was the earrings….) who had a bit too much to drink that night. After a few conversations, she learned he was heading off to MIZZOU a few weeks later. They chatted about PBL because Maria had just returned from a PBL conference, which ultimately led to Maria giving Jake her PBL business card & snapchat username. Jake waited two whole weeks to text her and the rest is history.
