Darlin'

A world wide pandemic had struck the world in the year 2033.

Everybody was ordered to stay home, the food would be brought to the houses in rations every 2 weeks. There was no seeing family, no going on walks, nothing.

Harry and Hope lived next door to each other. Harry was known all around the town, as the bad boy. Two years ago when the pandemic hit, he was 18. He was drinking and sleeping with girls every weekend and his reputation never ended, despite the national lock down.

Hope was the quite shy girl. Nobody really knew much about her, but she loved reading and preferred to spend her time alone. Despite no one enjoying the lock down, Hope enjoyed the peace. She liked being surrounded by her parents and younger sister.

Hope gets a text from a mystery number. A simple "hey darlin." She later learns that it was her next door neighbour Harry.

Harry had secretly been crushing on Hope for years and finally found the courage to admit it.

He has dreamt of running away and escaping the pandemic, but with Hope. Would he convince her to runaway with him?
