1 . It's amazing how friendships can blossom in such a short time. I met Julia in December, but we have been _________ since. Being in lockdown is really _________ and I ever said to her that we should both go shopping in the same supermarket. That way we could see each other at a _________ of six feet away.

This morning when she _________ me, asking if I was going to the store, I told her I was feeling really low and just didn't have the _________ to even go to the store. Actually, the _________ of being inside has set in. It's been getting, _________ and today was one of those days. We have had pouring rain these days so even going for a walk hasn't been a(an) _________.

A short time later, she came to my _________ with a bag of shopping and from six feet away, she __________ a bag of stuff for dinner, my favorite chocolates, a face mask, and hair products! From six feet away, I felt like crying __________ tears. I was so moved, although not being able to __________ her.

That's what best friends are! They don't __________ how much money you make and what you do for a living. If you've hit rock bottom, they just __________ you back. And that's what she proved: __________ aren't necessarily about people who you've known the longest, but those who come into your life and say, "I'm here for you."
