- Fiktion
Meet Cute Presents: Exes for End Times. March, 2020. NYC. Rosemary is moving overseas for the career of her dreams. So what’s with this novel coronavirus that keeps delaying her flight? Whatever. She’ll just crash with her ex, Ben, until lockdown blows over. They can stand each other for a few more weeks. It’s only a few weeks, right?
What follows is more than just endless banana bread, but a pinch of old resentments, a huge dollop of competitive Zoom dating, and a good dash of some complicated, lingering feelings.
Exes For End Times is the pragmatism of The Proposal meets the close quarters of The Break Up meets dating in the age of COVID-19

Part 1
Where it’s March 2020 and the rest, as they say, is history. There’s a lot of history between Rosemary and Ben, who broke up a month ago because Rosemary wasn’t ready to start a family. She was also preparing to leave for grad school in London. Now stuck in NYC due to COVID-19, Rosemary convinces Ben that they should endure lockdown together. Just as friends.
