I Have a Good Friend

I have a good friend.

She's especially good to me. She never argues with me, keeps me company when I'm bored, and comforts me when I'm sad. Even when my cousin used the pandemic as an excuse to keep me from going out, she came over without hesitation and stayed with me.

Of course, my bargain-bin cousin lived with us too.

Only later did I find out:

The pandemic had ended years ago.

And he really wasn't my biological cousin.
