Through mutual friends, Elliot and Maddie had been hearing of one another for several months before Elliot decided it may be better to just find Maddie himself rather than wait for an introduction! So he found Maddie on Facebook, sent her a message introducing himself, and after a few weeks of talking they finally set up their first date at The Tea Rose Diner. Before meeting one another, Maddie didn't really know what Elliot looked like,as his online photos were old and obscure. So she figured "well, I'll wing it and see what happens!". When she opened the front door to meet him for the first time, she almost shut it on his face due to shock by how handsome he was. Little did Maddie know at the time that the universe had a much more important journey in store for her with this extremely handsome guy at the door step.
