Sorry that this is in a completely different style and that it's about a time in our lives that is really difficult and weird.
I'm struggling with it and these little ideas are cute and I just hope they might put a smile on your face too.

You and Brad had been dating for just a few months before the lockdown was announced. It was already weird getting to know each other as you had only met a few times due to you living in Glasgow.
You knew lockdown was coming, but you weren't sure when. In your opinion, it was a little late but you were grateful when it meant you were working from home rather than getting busses to and from work. However, when you realised it meant that you wouldn't be going down to see Brad the following weekend like you had both planned, your mindset changed and you were really upset about it.
To help cheer you up, Brad did all that he could.
- He texted you while you were working, just to check in and make sure you were taking breaks and moving.
- He FaceTimed you every night so he could see for himself if you were okay or not.
- If you were having a bad day he'd talk to you about it and let you ramble on
- Then he'd play you samples of songs he was writing and asked for your opinion
- Or he'd try and make you laugh
- If he was having a bad day, you'd talk to him about it and make sure he knew he could tell you anything
- When he was doing live streams you'd text him just before to let him know you were watching and that you were proud of him
- Texting him random quotes that you find funny from any books you're ready just for him to be confused about it and make you give context
- Making plans to visit each other as soon as it's possible
- "If there's no flights/trains I'll drive up to you. The day this is lifted"
- Buying hair dye half way through and making him help decide which crazy colour to go; green, blue, or pink
- Worrying that you'll regret it but you both are pleasantly surprised when it looks okay
- Brad laughing when you show him the mess of your bathroom sink after
- Half joking texts to each other if you change out of PJ's that day "Yay, I'm proud"
- Making the decision to officially boyfriend and girlfriend - not that either of you were talking to any one else anyway
- Getting stuff delivered to each other - like a new book and flowers for you, some flowers and guitar picks and some printed photos of you both to him
