"We were at a track meet in Pocatello, Idaho. I was in California, Hunter lived in Utah at the time. We were both 17 years old, and I saw him, and I thought he was really cute. And he was running the 400m, actually. And I went up on the track and I gave him a hug. I said, I don't know how to do this, but I have to hug you."
