Thomas and Dylan first met playing on the same team in the spring. They didn’t talk much at all and she’ll tell you that the reason she didn’t care to talk to him is because he didn’t bother to introduce himself and he’ll tell you that it’s a lie and he definitely introduced himself. In the summer, he ended up at a beach hangout she was at. She decided to stay when everyone left so she could watch the sunset and paint by herself, but then looked behind her and saw Thomas walking back to join her. Their first real conversation with each other ended with him realizing his interest in her, and her knowing that she was going to talk to this guy for the rest of her life. She wrote that in her journal, and he still has the painting she painted that night.
