two people living in apartments next to each other during covid lockdown fall in love, but the boy has a secret he doesn't want to share with her because he is ashamed of his problem. so they talk to each other on the balcony without seeing each other until the big reveal.
@Radagast,
this is it! i'll make a point to note the file name better for a future re-read. thanks so much!
I liked this story very much but couldn't figure out why they were so isolated from everyone, including each other. That just didn't make sense to me. I got that he was hiding, but why didn't she just knock on his door one time during all those weeks?
