How and or where did you meet?
Jessica and Clayton met in December 2019, right before COVID-19 hit the USA. Clayton was living and working in Seattle, Washington and Jessica was living and working in Washington, MO. Jessica was a server at Marquarts Landing in Washington, MO. Clayton's dad was a regular at Marquarts Landing and informed Jessica that Clayton was single and would be home for the Holidays.
