Austin and Piper's story started in 2012, when Austin moved to Arkansas from Mississippi and transferred to the same middle school as Piper. In 2014, Piper learned that she was going to be moving to New York City and she spent as much time as she could with her friends, one of which being Austin. They got a little bit closer over this time and Austin was the last boy Piper kissed before moving to the city.

In this time, they both moved on and lived their lives through high school and some of college until...

In December of 2020, Piper decided to come to Arkansas for a couple months over winter break in college, and decided to reach out to Austin so that they may hopefully rekindle their friendship.

3 wonderful weeks later, they had fallen in love and had no idea what to do because Piper still lived in the city. Piper ended up going back with Austin to the University of Arkansas to stay with him for as long as possible before she returned to the city. During this stay Piper made the difficult decision to move back to Arkansas from New York to be with the love of her life, and its been nothing but excitement and absolute drowning in love since.
