As a tradition, on the 4th of July of every year Caroline goes on a family and friends vacation to Perdido Key, Florida. In 2018, her family had a conflict that pushed the famous beach trip back to August which left Caroline without any plans for the 4th. Independence Day happened to be on a Wednesday this year, and all of her roommates were out of town already, so Caroline had to figure out what she should do. On July 3rd, Caroline’s friend, Ansley, who lives the street behind her, told her about their new neighbors who invited her over for a 4th of July party and wanted her to come. Since the house was directly behind Caroline, she decided why not go over there and check it out with some friends! Not long after being there, Caroline, who is an avid dog lover, went straight for a cute dog that was lying down in the backyard to show him some love. The dog was being belly scratched by a good-looking guy sitting down in a chair, and naturally, they began to talk. His name was A.C.! As one thing led to another, Caroline and A.C. played yard game after yard game for multiple hours, and had a blast with each other. Later in the evening, the 4th of July party was coming to an end, and it was crunch time for A.C. to buckle up and ask for her number. Right when Caroline was heading out the door with her friends, A.C. swooped in, and said, “I had a great time with you today. Can I have your number?” And she said yes!
