Love in Lockdown: Stories
1. A Hopelessly Romantic Sussex Love Story
James and Kate were living alone in Sussex, in two very large properties, close to each other – but they didn’t know it and they had never crossed paths before. Both joined Berkeley International around the same time, looking for love. Their first date was during the first lockdown, so it took place via Zoom. During the video call, James and Kate got on really well and they found out how close they lived to each other, but they couldn’t meet just yet.
When the Coronavirus restrictions were eased and bubbles were allowed, James decided to pull out all the stops for their first proper, face-to-face meeting. He booked a helicopter, filled it full of red roses, and took Kate for a romantic spin in the sky on Valentine’s Day.
Ever since they have been seeing each other and the relationship has progressed considerably.
