‘So then when we went to say goodbye, I thought, I’m never going to see you again, but most of this has been wearing a mask, so I’m just going to pull my mask down to say, smiling, “Good luck in life.”‘
But Natasha said she was horrified when the man misread the situation and ‘went in for the kiss’, despite it being ‘not COVID-safe’.
She revealed it got even more uncomfortable when he ‘did the whole Notebook cupping of the face thing’.

‘None of that open mouth business. I think I needed to get another Pfizer shot after that.’
