Three days later, before even video chatting, he ordered her a bunch of food from Gjusta. They FaceTimed. A week later, he sent her ingredients for margaritas and a pack of White Claws.

While outside, I asked him — on behalf of all of you ladies — why other dudes on aren't acting like this during quarantine.

6:36 PM: made Wes an apple crumble to make him feel better and is dropping it off now. I'm not going with them because she says they don't want me in their faces with my phone for every interaction? RUDE!
