Chase and Alyssa met in 2016 when Alyssa moved to Tallahassee. They had junior year English together, but rarely, if ever, talked to each other. In 2020 just before the pandemic, they reconnected through social media. Chase didn't think Alyssa liked him as anything more than a friend, so he kept himself in the friendzone for over a year. Finally, one of Chase's best friends convinced him to ask Alyssa out. The rest is history!
