Linzi has lived in several places over the years (Brooklyn, Chicago, Philly & Portland) but her family did a lot of summertime traveling when she was a kid, up until high school when her dad died. So she's been up and down the eastern coast. Maybe they met one random summer and the family became friends so to speak. He and Linz didn't have to stay in touch necessarily but could've reconnected when she moved to San Fran last year.
