Keegan and Sydney grew up in the same town of Kent Island, Maryland. Although they went to the same schools from grade school to Salisbury University, they never really crossed paths. Later in life Sydney's childhood best friend started dating Keegan's brother and soon their paths would be forced to cross. Sydney and Keegan's relationship started about 3 months before Keegan would deploy with the Army for a year. Despite this, they could not help but to fall in love that summer. By the time that Keegan was leaving they might not have known each other long but they knew enough to know that this love that they had found was irreplaceable and that they could not let it go. They were lucky.
