Ted/Alexis + Rose Family (+ Patrick + Stevie). 2,600 words. Alexis and Ted do lockdown together. Everybody else has Thoughts about it.

“I think this is going well,” Ted says on the forty-third day of quarantining together in Alexis’s apartment as completely platonic pandemic friends who are still a little bit in love with each other.

“Totally,” Alexis says over her jar of overnight oats. “It’s going totally well.”

“And your family said we couldn’t hack it as a couple of platonic roomies!”

Her family had actually said: ‘So you’re getting back together. Okay. Give me a minute to visualize–okay. I could see that working–wait. You’re not getting back together? Then this is insane’ (ugh, David), ‘Maybe not the best idea, sweetheart’ (Dad), and ‘Oh Alexis, it’s surely doomed to devolve into a concupiscent rampage’ (Mom). But “couldn’t hack it” about covers it, yep. She had spared Ted the specifics.
