Once upon a swipe, Alexis and Alex matched on Bumble—because fate (and a mutual love of 2 for 1 margaritas) said so. Their first date? Chili’s. Because nothing says romance like bottomless chips and a 2-for-$25 deal. Things went so well that Alexis left Chili’s with more than just butterflies… she also left with Covid. Three days after their romantic rendezvous, she tested positive. Coincidence? Maybe. But also, probably not. Alex didn’t run for the hills like a normal person might after potentially giving someone the plague. Instead, he leaned all the way in and decided to make Alexis a care package full of Gatorade, cough drops, and a note that definitely tried (and failed) to be cool. Somewhere between Alexis losing her sense of taste and realizing she didn’t lose her taste in men, they started falling for each other. Turns out, nothing brings two people together like viruses and vulnerability!
