Ronnie and Krista had known each other for some time through Ronnie's sister, but it was not until a few summers ago that things changed. One 4th of July weekend while bar hopping around the Cape, Ronnie and Krista exchanged numbers, and kept in contact over the coming weeks. Ronnie was attending a wedding at the end of that summer, and reached out to Krista asking her to be his date. After secretly confirming Mary Anne's approval, Krista accepted. She is certainly glad she did, because they spent all night on the dance floor, and quickly realized they were more than just friends. The next day, they went out on an official date, and have been inseparable since!
