Before their final exams, he sent her love letters and asked her out for coffee, but she always turned him down.
His feelings didn't fade in college; he chased her for four long years.
She thought her marriage would make him give up, but things got crazier.
On the day she and Casper got their marriage certificate, Zach confronted them, and he ended up in a brawl with Casper. He'd recite love poems outside their house and send Casper taunting messages. Because of this, Eliza often bore the brunt of Casper's anger.
