Brady and Sarah met in their middle school math class! Sarah claims to have been interested in Brady since the first time she saw him. Strangers to acquaintances, acquaintances to friends. Nothing bloomed from their friendship until June 2017!
On June 25th, 2017, Sarah was working her lifeguard job at the city pool. She had brought along some extra clothes, makeup, and a curling iron because tonight was a big night. Prior to closing the pool Sarah started to get ready, and coworkers started to ask questions. She quickly replied to them that her and her sister, Hannah, were going to see Cars 3 at the movies! Even if they did not buy it, she was happy with her lie because she did not want to tell the truth. The truth was complicated. Sarah was actually going on her first date with Brady, who also happened to be the pool manager's ex-boyfriend. Brady pulled into the lot in his family's Honda Pilot, and they were off. This was the first time they were together in person alone, and they got comfortable fast. The windows rolled down, they sang along to the radio on the way to Columbus. Sarah remembers them both singing "Something Just Like This" by The Chainsmokers. Brady wore a casual tank top and shorts, but Sarah wore a blouse and jeans with a full face of makeup. It was easy to see who was new to dating. When they arrived at the movies the plan was to see Cars 3, but when getting the tickets Brady changed his mind and got tickets to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. There were a couple of problems with this. 1. Brady had already seen the movie. 2. Sarah had never even seen the first one. She happily went anyway since he paid! As the movie went on, she rested her hand on his arm and they held hands just enough.
