Quarantine swipe

Epilogue

6 months later

Emerson and I were still together, living under the mercy of this virus.
Emerson moved in with me, and we were so happy. So in love.
He was still cocky and smug, but I came to really love that part of him. He made me laugh a lot.
I worked a lot from home and he worked hard as well at his bar.
Noah was closed to us too, we've became closer during this months.

"Have you seen the news!" Noah said as he burst through the door of my apartment. We were having lunch together.
"The vaccine has arrived to the states!" Noah said with thrill
He opened up his computer showing us the news, Emerson, Noah and me looked at each other smiling, happy, full of hope, positive that soon we could finally put an end to this pandemic. That we could finally get out without fear. Being able to hug, and just feel a human touch without feeling panic.
So that vaccine was a ray of hope, for me and for all.

A/N:

This awful pandemic has brought us to enjoy the small things in life, has brought us to learn to be patient, to be grateful, to miss the ones we love the most, has thought us that  human contact can't be replaced by a video or a phone call, has brought us to value the power of a hug and a single touch.

This pandemic has made us take a huge stop in our life, a stop to make us think of the path our life has taken, and question if it is the right path for us.
I think it has also brought the best in people, but the worst as well.
Has made us feel things we've never felt before.
It has made us fear being next to each other.
And I hope with all my heart that soon we can all get back to normal, well I think a new normal, because I imagine that we've never be back to be the same as we were before the pandemic.
I hope that we can begin a new normalcy, but that hugs, kisses and human contact would never be underestimated.
A new normalcy where we can be humanitarian, solitary, selfless, and caring. A new normal where we do not focus on material and superficial stuff.
I prey for humanity, I prey for our future, for patience, for understanding, and I prey for love.

I want to give my love, support and condolences to all people that have lost their dear ones because of this virus.

I hope that we can tell this to our grandkids someday and tell them stories from where we had to stay on lockdown for months.

I want to thank you all for reading this story I wrote during Covid-19 quarantine. It kept me busy and inspired as I was locked with 3 little kids whom I love like crazy and they drive me crazy as well.
So thank you again for all your support.
May you stay safe and healthy.
