Pissed at the pandemic

We met at a mutual friend’s socially distanced garden party in the summer. We started “dating” a few weeks after but only managed a few dates in the real world before our region locked down again. We bubbled and I stayed over at his 2/3 times a week. I got a toothbrush. And a key. It felt so easy, safe. I felt entirely comfortable in his company. We laughed a lot. 
Fast forward a few months and he was deemed a close contact meaning two weeks of self isolation. I always thought Covid would make or break us. It ultimately broke us. Something changed within days and (amicably) we decided to leave things. Covid had robbed us of the chance to enjoy dating and getting to know each other outside of a “support bubble”. I’m sad because I will miss his company. And I’m pissed that the pandemic ruined it for us.
