and they're the same age so it could definitely work! i was thinking it'd be fun if they met on the beach one day when they were both kids, hung out throughout the summer, made friendship bracelets and told each other all their secrets (clem would've had a lot in her early teen years), etc. and they would stay in touch during the school year by writing letters, and then spending time together during her summer visits. maybe the letters kind of dwindled off as they both became college aged but they recently ran into each other somewhere totally mundane or random and are reconnecting?
