I guess that's what seasons will bring

 "She has Covid."

KC's words made Boone flinch as he handed over the coffee.

Actually, he was the only one manning the bakery after the blizzard's aftermath. Thankfully, no one had come in except KC, and it was for a couple of muffins.

March had laid a whammy of a snow storm. The snow was thick and wet. Perfect for snowballs, but the wind raged on in the early morning and most of yesterday with snow and ice. It was barely above freezing now while a couple days ago it felt almost like summer.

"Well, it's going around," Boone shrugged about the matter. He said he hoped Millie felt better.

"I wasn't sure what it was," KC admitted the last thing he expected was for her just to sleep in his bed. "I mean, I think we have things figured out, but she's so exhausted these days."

"Maddie's worried about her too, but now that I know this, well, I'm sure Maddie will be glad to know."

"I hope she got her shot." 

KC said he did.

"Oh, yeah, but she could still get it," Boone mentioned people came in coughing all the time. 

"I keep thinking the spring I caught mono," KC told Boone he hadn't even kissed anyone. "I had to be in close contact with this dude who was my lab partner." He rolled his eyes at the thought how the hunky football player had coughed all over him. "I wouldn't want to go through that again." He said he kept missing COVID. "But I don't know if I I'll be so lucky this time, since Millie moved in."

"Doesn't sound the best way to start something new," Boone smiled. He went to get some plastic containers of broccoli cheese soup. "Maybe this will help."

About then the door jangled and a couple of customers stopped by.

"Thanks," KC appreciated the freebies.

"You take care of yourself and Millie too," Boone waved goodbye and went to take the customer's order.
