We’ve been facing a world-wide pandemic for over a year now. Fortunately, with vaccinations happening in a lot more countries, the world is starting to open up again.

However, because of the length of time that they hadn’t seen each other, he was worried that Bitsy wouldn’t remember him.

However, the reunion quickly proved to him that he had nothing to worry about.
