Zachary and Sylvia were taken with one another from the first date. They tried to deny their growing affections, even going so far as to agree together not to date. That didn't last long. In fact, they soon found they were on the same page about almost everything, which came to be known as 87.7 radio frequency (the bluetooth station for the radio transmitter in Zachary's whiny car).

Being on the same radio frequency extended further, they danced to the same tune at their friends' weddings and on ice as Zachary took Sylvia ice skating for her birthday where she almost broke her wrist but that's a story for another day. Their adventures took them on road trips to the far land of Pennsylvania where they symbolically released lanterns and later to the concrete jungle known as New York City where Sylvia met Zachary's wonderful friends. They have shared hikes (Sylvia has not so secretly attempted to turn Zachary into a hiking buddy by gifting him hiking boots and pants) and Zachary has returned the favor by introducing Sylvia to a whole new world of board games. For Zachary's birthday, Sylvia surprised him by bringing his NYC friends to Maryland in December 2018 for a fun birthday party filled with new and old friends and family. Their affection for each other continued to grow. During the winter of 2018, Sylvia quickly learned that Zachary could throw snowballs in rapid fire like Buddy the Elf on a quiet snow day. They went on a greater adventure to the western frontier (California and Arizona) in February 2019 where Sylvia got to meet more family and friends and even more hiking as they explored Los Angeles and Phoenix. Then, to complete their fun adventures in the first year of their dating, they planned a trip to Atlanta in April 2018 to spend a long weekend with Sylvia's family and friends. Zachary was introduced to southern charm, Kenyan hospitality and NASCAR speeds on Atlanta roads.
