“At the height of COVID, I managed to travel to Europe from Russia. After almost three months of traveling, my friends invited me to visit them in France. I took an early train from Milan, and as I got closer to the border, a very handsome Frenchman sat next to me. Getting seriously hungry, I started searching for food. That’s when he turned to me, fluttered his gorgeous eyelashes, and offered me some tomatoes. Even though we both were wearing masks, I fell in love instantly. We chatted all the way to Paris, where I spent most of my time not with my friends, but with him.”
