my internet keeps kicking out, but: vaguely and anything can be worked out/reworked, but i was thinking she was someone that sam met through her job (she's a founder/former CEO of a company based on rent the runway, whether be an in-house photographer, stylist, or whatever i'm open to suggestions and they ended up hitting it off because they could ~relate~ to navigating through things as woc. but, they ended up in a relationship and were woc in an out and proud relationship, which was definitely an early first for sam, but she wasn't attempting to hide it, be embarrassed, or be shy at all even if it was something new for her and something she wasn't used to just yet. it was't going to be super messy or anything, their breakup ended up being not a total mess, but it was 'high profile' in their new york/boston circles for what it was and they'd still be friends/friendly.
