Christmas Hallmark Fantasy
Is this the perfect holiday meet-cute, or do I have a fever?
COVID DAY 12, Costco delivery driver commented on my onesie.
(Are we dating now? All those Lifetime movies I’ve been watching while sick seem to suggest that anyone I encounter between now and Christmas HAS to fall in love with me!)
He smiled, eyeing me, then said: “having a onesie day, huh?”
I acknowledged that it was my look for COVID day 12. His smile only falters a little. (Every Hallmark holiday romance has a challenge to overcome!)
“Ah you have COVID?” he responds.
I shrug, say how it’s not supposed to be contagious after 10 days, but I don’t fuck around.
He laughs, which clearly indicates that he’s smitten with me, then accepts the cash tip that I offer, demonstrating that he does not fear the Omicron.
We chat briefly, then he closes with: “the good thing is that most of this COVID stuff is going away now.”
Whut?
Is he serious?
We’re divorced.
