They met for the first time on a Thursday evening, Ranjan was asked to take Beth shopping. They talked the whole time, even missing their metro stop because the conversation was so good!

This is when Beth heard Ranjan sing for the first time. This really made an impression on her, as she listened to him sing "The Prayer." Ranjan drove Beth to the airport that evening, they talked the whole way there (mostly him, as she was quite tired). This is when they agreed to continue texting each other, though they would be in two different countries.
