Convenient
Amelia needs a new place to live—in 2020.
Mark needs a wife.
A legal marriage solves their problems, at least on paper. Bookish Amelia and jaded Mark both agree that feelings would only complicate things.
Lockdown stretches on, deepening their community’s wrestling with what faithfulness to God and neighbors looks like during a pandemic. On top of that, the practical newlyweds have to navigate grief at work, church Zoom gatherings, family tensions, and natural disasters—and that’s only the first few months together. Each new hurdle chips away at the cordial boundaries between them.
They agreed to live together. Now they might just have to figure out how to trust each other.
