ooh i love the idea of them meeting at a party that cammie hosted. because she would have raved to meadow about how good all of her stuff was and then the business connections/friendship could have started from there. her father, who is a lot nicer than her mother, definitely would have been up for helping with the storefront buying if cammie had asked him. and maybe since cammie has no direction in life, her father decided it would be a good project for her. so she could have been the big investor (thank you, trustfund) with her father being the one they went to for advice and suggestions and all that.
