Advent Drabble 5 - Quarantine
Matt is surprisingly adept at home-schooling. He didn’t think he would be -- he remembers barely being able to do his own schooling -- but something about the controlled chaos of coordinating the girls’ virtual classrooms suits him.
“It’s like touring,” Patrick remarks. “Just organized enough to keep going, just wild enough to hold your interest.”
Matt agrees. But it’s also home, everyone he loves in one space, and maybe - just maybe - it feels like he’s getting to make up for the years without any home at all.
Matt isn’t grateful for the pandemic, but he sees its silver lining.
