“I was kind of newly single and I have a lot of friends who live in Charleston and they said, ‘Hey, do you know Chase Stokes?’ And I thought, ‘I know him.’ But let me tell you why I never told this story. I think it was 2021. I was on a flight. It was like 5am. Ungodly hour. I was about to fall asleep and there was a young girl who came up to the person sitting behind me and was almost freaking out and fangirling. And I heard that he was so kind to her and gave her so much time and attention and intention.”
