I should've known it was a possibility-I mean it was his hometown-but I never thought he'd be at THAT party.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Then the Valentine's date from hell-not even close to his hometown? And the Memorial Day barbecue and Fourth of July festival? What was happening?</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>It was a surprise when my sister told me they broke up but I understood after the stories she shared.
