natalie was in nyc from 2005-2009 for school and then moved out to los angeles after, she's been there off and on for the last 11 years. so maybe they were connected in nyc somehow and reformed a friendship out here? i could offer her as a fling as well at some point, but if that doesn't suit him then the strictly friends route is good. she's outgoing and loves to make connections where ever she goes.
