Mia and Esper reconnected when she moved back to Cincinnati from Columbus to complete a Master's Degree in Physiology at UC. Esper was completing his 4th year of medical school at UC during the Summer of 2017. He reached out after seeing on Facebook her announcement she was moving back, suggesting that they meet for a drink.

They met at Taft's Ale House and talked for 2+ hours catching up on life events since high school and college. Mia left the bar wondering "Was that a date? It felt like one." The following day Esper suggested they go out to a movie together (Marvel's Spiderman: Homecoming) and offered to pick her up at her apartment. She felt that this was definitely date territory and agreed. Over the next several weeks, they sporadically spent time together as Esper was on a demanding rotation of medical school. She cooked dinner for him at her apartment. They saw another movie together. By the end of July that summer, they were officially dating.
