Chapter 3: DAN: Meet the Newbie

Their first online encounter is not the meet-cute romance novels are made of. First DAN mispronounces JESSICA'S school's name and then she corrects him. Rather harshly, he thinks. She thinks he's rather callous and already doesn't like him. It doesn't matter. Their editor assigns them to work as a team on their first story on the pandemic that has them working from home.
