They first met when their roommates in college started hanging out. They were casually around each other and quickly found a bond. Ayden would borrow Emma's vacuum consistently as he did not have one, and she would "accidentally" leave it behind so she would have to come back and they would end up hanging out. After that, and switching in the same class as Ayden, they started to hangout quite a bit more, where they finally ended up dating in June 2018.
