so, i was thinking they could’ve met a few years ago when she was still living at home and perhaps he was contracted or commissioned to do some carpentry work for her parents? though she’s very much the silver spoon princess she’s always rebelled against what her parents wanted for her (except college, she gave in for that). at the time they met, her mom was trying to set her up with someone stuffy but she was more attracted to dewey and chose to pursue him instead. this is just a rough idea, and open to brainstorming.
