okay so basically they met in college. tynes was pursuing music and such but also had a somewhat troubled past ( he got in trouble as a juvenile for basically taking the blame when his brother broke into and stole a car. his brother had been in trouble so many times that he was afraid it would lead to even worse consequences ). so his record looks horrible to the unknowing eye. he’s always been an outgoing, spontaneous and working class kind of a guy. she would have been a bit sheltered growing up, very privileged but also humble. he would have been drawn to her sweetness/innocence and she would would have been enthralled by him. they kind of quickly fell in love in that really brilliant earth moving kind of a way BUT her father would have strongly disapproved of the relationship ( her dad would have known tynes dad and knew about his brother so automatically looped him into the same category.. i’m thinking at one point he even pulls his record to show his daughter like SEE ...which could be fun bc tynes would not have told her about it and it might LOOK really bad ) at that point his parents would have advised him to use caution maybe not as strongly as her dad but both of the parents disapproval made them pursue each other that much more. i’m thinking the breaking point came when her dad pulled his record and showed her. this would’ve been after tynes spent months telling her that he was different and such. ok i’ll give you a reading break 😂
