I know there’s a fair few of you who really like the backstory, so there’s a good bit of it (probably too much, I got a little carried away). For those of you looking for the hot and heavy section, scroll on down till you see the second set of —.

This happened one week into quarantine, a Wednesday, so about two weeks ago. My work dropped me down to part time because of the Coronavirus so I work 10 hour days on Monday and Friday. My cousin Elizabeth, or Liz, who is currently attending her first year of college near me, instead of returning home to an already packed, loud, and chaotic house with her 5 younger siblings asked if she could stay in the spare bedroom of my two-bedroom apartment. I was hesitant at first for financial reasons. My wife and I finalized our divorce almost 3 months ago and meeting rent on half a salary instead of two AND feeding myself was going to me rough, let alone feeding my uncle’s kid as well. However, my uncle is in a much better place financially and offered to cover my rent, all of it, for the next two months even if this situation blows over in less time for letting Liz stay with me. Some of her siblings have health issues and I think he was afraid she might carry something back into their house.
