It was June 2020, peak covid-19.
This was the story of two individuals: one from Orange County and one from El Paso trying to make one last attempt to meet in the middle after 2 years of romancing long distance.
5 hours of driving later, there was an absolute crazy consumption of in & out, extreme heat driving through the desserts of Arizona, and most stressfully, running through the crazy questions of: “has it really been two years?“ “where do we see us?” “when will we see each other next?” “is there a future?”
simmering under the Arizona heat, they parted with an embrace, deep down, both knowing that it was their last.
