Once upon a workout, Mark asked Susie to go on a walk to cool down after a grueling sweat session. During the walks people would talk and get to know each other better. After enough walks, Mark decided to ask Susie out to watch the Cavs first playoff game at Harry Buffalo and although the Cavs weren't winning, Mark sure was. It wasn't until October 13th (sound familiar?) yes, Susie's wig shuffle birthday party, that Mark asked Susie if he could start introducing her as his girlfriend (pre-purple hair). That was the first time she said yes.
