The invisible string theory goes strong in this love story, with lots of connections to the past that built up to the future almost like fate.

One day while in Blake's room, Miranda stumbles upon a photo of Blake in high school band smiling with a familiar face. Miranda instantly recognizes this face and asks him how they knew each other. "That was one of my high school band directors my senior year at Frisco High School," Blake would respond. "That was MY private lessons teacher in high school in Oklahoma," Miranda said. Matt Courtney became a key part of this timeline and it was almost like fate they had this unlikely connection to him.

While in high school, Miranda and Matt played trumpet together during holidays at the First United Methodist Church in Grove, Ok. Matt was the band director at Jay High School, a neighboring town & school to Grove. Once a week after school, Miranda would drive to Jay and take trumpet lessons from Matt. He would help her with musical auditions for solos and ensembles, state competitions and ultimately, her audition for the Pride of Oklahoma.

Matt Courtney was also previously a member of the trumpet section in the Pride of Oklahoma.

After Miranda graduated from high school, she heard that Matt had moved back to Texas with his wife and family, and had taken a job as a band director at a high school north of Dallas. This was Blake's high school in Frisco, where he was entering his senior year and was a member of the trumpet section.
