Also, I am pretty sure it was a vine.

It's a shrub. Kalmia latifolia or Mountain Laurel.

You are more than welcome! It is native to North America but there are also a variety of colors available commercially (deep pink, lavender, burgundy...) I can totally see why you would think this is a vine because it doesn't really branch much like a typical shrub, and can look a bit lanky with age. Slow growing and evergreen.
