While Megan was in Las Vegas, Austin texted her asking to hang out the next time she was in the area. After Ripon's graduation, Megan drove to Brookfield where they met at Cooper's Hawk for a drink to reconnect. Both expected this to only be for an hour. Four hours later, they decided they should part ways so Megan could visit a friend in Milwaukee before heading back to Nebraska.

They talked and texted throughout the summer, Megan in Lincoln, NE and Austin in Waukesha, WI.

Megan went back to Crete, IL for Labor Day and asked if they could meet halfway. Because it was Labor Day, the sushi restaurant they planned to go to was closed. So Buffalo Wild Wings it was. After talking, laughing, and driving a bit, they returned to the parking lot. When they hugged good bye, Austin kissed Megan. Eventually, they decided they were dating. Thus, began a long-distance relationship
