Ah love, it's great, it's needed, and it's the only way to be with your lover during the pandemic. That's right, covid-19 has hit sweetwater like a bug, businesses are closed for the time being, no one can leave their house, and if you do decide to leave, you have to wear a mask. Jeff and Angela got together at the worst time possible. They got together back in February and now they're both stuck quarantined in their homes. Luckily for Jeff, he's stuck with his bandmates and little sister. It was required that a week's quarantine is gonna go into full effect, but the guys have concerts to do, and only they can't wear a mask onstage, but they have to do social distance. If Anthony wants to glide on stage while playing his guitar, he can only do little scooting and that's it. Jeff pleaded with the manager to not do the concerts and luckily he won. After a few weeks of quarantining, Jeff can finally go see Angela, but has to wear a mask. He makes it to her house and right when he knocks, Angela answers it and says he can take off the mask while inside. They go to her room and just talk.

Jeff: Do you think we got together at the wrong time?

Angela: not really, we managed to hang out a little bit before the pandemic so it wasn't a total loss

Jeff: yeah, and sorry i haven't talked much, they made us still do concerts and it was a pain

Angela: on the bright side,  you didn't have to wear a mask

Jeff: i guess, but all of our stage antics are no more until this thing is over

Angela: i get the feeling it won't be over

Jeff: I'm not surprised

Angela: personally i wish it would just end right now, but seeing as how it just started, there's no way it will

Jeff: at least now we can get out and do stuff

Angela: but we must have masks on to enter

Jeff: yeah...anyway wanna go out on a date

Angela: of all the times you ask, you asked at the worst of times

Jeff: well think about it, when we're out on a date, some places won't be as busy

Angela: Jeff, i like your enthusiasm, but we can't get into anywhere and if we do we'll be kicked out

Jeff: ok...then why don't we just make up a place to go on a date

Angela: that's like if we were kids trying to do that, pass

Jeff: got any better ideas?

Angela: why don't we just get a car , drive to get food, and go have like a picnic 

Jeff: wow, that's way better than what i was thinking

Angela: it's better to think logically than creatively sometimes

Jeff: true, so should we dress up

Angela: mm, why not 

Jeff: alright, i won't wear a suit jacket though

Angela: no it's fine, you looked pretty fancy last time

Jeff leaves and goes home to get ready. Just like last time he wears a plain black hoodie, a white button up shirt, a clip on tie, black tennis shoes, dress pants , and he slicks his hair back because it's too long in the front. Before he leaves, he grabs hand sanitizer and a mask and begs Anthony for the keys to the truck. 

Anthony: I thought you didn't have your driver's license?

Jeff : i don't but i know how to drive

Anthony: and what if you get pulled over
