Marry Me?
In the spring of 2020, as ambitious politicians self-servingly paint an overly optimistic picture of the impact of the COVID-19 virus, regular people find themselves unsure as to how to proceed. But as mask mandates and stay-at-home orders sweep the nation — and once-thriving businesses find their customers vanishing — the unexpected release from day-to-day work obligations accelerates some major life decisions… and for one couple, introduces conflict where it had previously been suppressed.
