Sometime in 2016 Sam saw Grace in the Anderson University Chick-fil-a line (that makes sense because she ate lunch and dinner there every day, except Sunday). He asked around to see if she was single and everyone said something different, how mysterious. One of these people he asked was his friend Victoria, who also did not know Grace's relationship status because she did not know Grace. The week before school started in Fall 2017, Grace moved into her off campus housing with her randomly assigned new housemate - Victoria. While they were unpacking the kitchen items, Victoria says "by the way, my friend Sam totally has a crush on you." Grace looked at his social media photos and decided he was very cute, and she wanted to meet him. Grace also happened to need the curtains in the living room hung up, so she asked Victoria if she could have this cute guy hang up the curtains for them, even though they both were capable of hanging curtains. Two weeks after that, they had their first date. Sam picked Grace up in his '87 Ford Ranger. They went bowling, and even though Grace does not like bowling she realized she did like bowling when it was with Sam. Many highs and lows later, Sam proposed exactly 5 years after their first date. Probably around the same time he picked her up in that Ford Ranger back in Anderson, SC.
