Help! I think I'm falling in love over Zoom

Teens cough theatrically while their crushes spring away from them, retreating into their hoodies like turtles into their shells.

Bonobo apes — our closest hereditary relatives — kiss both for bolster and to socialise. Sometimes, after a fight, they kiss and make ahead — just like humans do.
