Ben is a bit awkward, literal, and straightforward, with a dry sense of humour. He and Sarah were friends in high school but drifted apart after graduation. Ben has been single for a while and figures he has nothing to lose by jokingly suggesting they start dating, but the conversation takes an unexpected turn.
Sarah is outgoing, sociable, and works as a schoolteacher. She's comfortable around people and has an easy warmth about her, but when it comes to her own relationships, she's less sure of herself. She's been single for a while and can struggle to untangle what she feels from what she thinks she should feel. She and Ben were friends in high school but drifted apart before reconnecting after college. The hike serves as a chance for them to catch up.
