The two were in a text group for incoming Mississippi College freshmen, and although<br />
Jameson had tried to connect with Abby, this was their first time to meet in person. “Abby’s<br />
picture immediately caught my eye on the class GroupMe, and I tried talking to her on social<br />
media, but she wasn’t interested initially,” says Jameson. However, as they waited for their<br />
respective appointment times that spring day, they struck up a conversation in the library.<br />
Jameson was smitten, but the timing wasn’t right. However, he saw he had a chance when<br />
Abby reached out to him on his birthday, May 19th. “That was a really busy day for me.<br />
I didn’t have time to look at texts or social media messages until late in the day. I was a little<br />
surprised, but excited, to see that Abby had wished me a happy birthday. I messaged her<br />
back and we struck up a conversation.”<br />
