In August 2014, Alexa went to a local sandwich shop to get her chicken salad fix- a long-time favorite of Alexa's. There, the Sandwich Man took her by surprise. He was kind, charming, and had dashing good looks. After Alexa ate her lunch, she left a note and a phone number for the Sandwich Man to call her. That night, the 2 soul-mates would connect for the first time. Arriving fashionably late, Sandwich Man, who we now know as Zack, came to Alexa's dorm room at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. They had a grand 'ole time and became the best of buds, and love interests. About a month later, on August 27, 2014, they became officially boyfriend and girlfriend.
