We had an instant connection, our conversations went on for hours as we talked about our likes, hobbies, favorite music, the high school we each attended, etc. Not too long after, my family was getting ready to leave, so we immediately exchanged numbers and also found out from one another that we lived fairly close; about a ten minute drive.
