She could draw a lot of assumptions about someone’s life by the way they carry themselves and how they present themselves. Jonathan was a perfect fit for her because he checked all the boxes of what she wanted in a partner.
Sage and Jonathan went to Indiana University together. They met each other when one of her classmate introduced her to his roommate, Bailey. The meeting was the start of a love affair that would last for a very long time. In a time where most college students were trying to experiment and find multiple partners, Sage and Jonathan were locked into each other. They had no care to play the field or try to line up multiple suitors. They knew that they had already found their match when they started dating each other.
They were in a committed relationship for a very long time before they decided to take the next step by locking hands in marriage. She later admitted that she had a crush on him before they even started dating. When she was introduced to him, she was smitten right away.
