Azithromycin acetaminophen

Very nicely done so far. Premise is reasonably believable, unlike most stories here. Your pacing is good and free of extraneous fluff.
I will say this, however: you need an editor. There are a few typo's misspellings, etc, but also a few other small issues; e.g., paracetamol would not be used by someone growing up in San Antonio, or anywhere else in the US. We all know the drug as acetaminophen. There are few more examples such as this, but the story is still rock-solid.
Thanks for the effort.

I very much enjoyed the story, a full 5 stars.
Unlike some, I've no problems with April being a little peeved at the beginning, we can all lose sight of someone's worth occasionally. If she was an ingrate, or it was Charles's grooming, is an imponderable mystery within the story.
Because you didn't make some things clear, or read your own story, or because I'm a pedant.
This was set during the Covid, yet a health centre didn't revert to the default that everything was covid and had a doctor that was free to be dispatched to June within minutes?
In appraising Dr. Satapathy, she was no older than Paul's 39 years, later on Paul is in his early 40s?
Cafés, restaurants sports centres (Paul's dojo) were all open and there is no mention of masks anywhere.
April wearing raunchy underwear for Paul. To be fair, you didn't say Paul's new job was Monday to Thursday, but you did say it was four days per week. I thought Aprils early show on Thursday morning was to prime Paul for the long weekend.
April feeding Paul sushi. No mention made of what had wasabi on it or what was dipped into soy sauce and how Paul told April his preferences. Well, I told you I was a pedant.
The drugs for June were mentioned and Tylenol was included. Tylenol is acetaminophen, which is also used in many cough medicines. Later on in the story, the alternative name for acetaminophen is used, which is paracetamol.

An IRL word of caution APAP, (acetaminophen) and alcohol are hell on your liver, short term and long term. Better to take aspirin for a hangover. Hell, by itself, APAP is hard on your liver. I used to get pain meds with APAP in them, which were yellow tablets. The APAP would make me sweat, in abnormal amounts, and non-exertiom, or cold environments.. The yellow die would come out in my perspiration as a brownish-yellow. White t-shirts I slept in during that period have stains around the collars for 2-3 that no amount of bleach or sunshine will remove.
Finally got the doc to get me on something without the APAP, and it's such an improvement in my comfort level; I'm not always sweating, or going through 3-4 shirts a day when I do anything milder active.

I like your story. Your caveat about discontinuities at the top was way too understated, they were jarring, but I get it. I've been there myself, but please remember to come back and clean up later, you're going to throw a lot of people off.
OK, big problem: Never, ever, ever take Advil and Tylenol together! Ever! Tylenol is Acetaminophen, it's a blood thinner. Advil is Ibuprofen, it's an anti-inflammatory that will also irritate your stomach lining. So between the two, you'll end up with a bleeding ulcer. I think the standard recommendation is to separate them by at least twelve hours, though I just stick to one. So unless you're TRYING to mess Hayley up even worse than she already is (bruised, battered, hung over), PLEASE stick to one or the other.
PS: Yes, this is a pet peeve. Yes, I've personally had a problem with both drugs. Google it if you don't believe me.

Sorry folks, but today was SUC-TACTIC!
I went to the General Practitioner at 9:00 am for my 6 month check up (and to check up on what had happened at the start of the year). It seems I've developed a respiratory infection so I was given some of those horse pill to fight it (Azithromycin) ... which came with THREE Level Three drug interaction warnings ... including the freaking risk of death ~ when in league with my Clozapine ... WOOT!
Next I learned my Urologist has 'misplaced' the initial files on my testosterone prescription ... which came from my Endocrinologist years and years ago. Now I have to wait for two weeks (and two blood draws) to show I have low-T so I can have the pleasure of my wife injecting me in the tush every Monday night. Until then I will be running around with less energy than I am currently struggling with ... DOUBLE-WOOT!!!
And lets not forget I am having to remove all caffeine from my diet as well so I'm already pretty much a walking zombie ... Triple woot?
Lastly, thanks to snow last week, I have my entire family in the house until FRIDAY ... which is stressing out my normally hermit-like nature. I love my kids, but at the moment my daughter is working on her cosplay outfit for Animazement which she does in my Man-Cave because it has more room to spread out in. I'm slowly losing my ever-loving MIND!!!!
Progress report: Nothing really. I haven't done any constructive work in the past two weeks and very little before then. I am trying to put out a story I started on back in 2016 and I have a chapter and a half already developed.
I have done no work on the next chapter of Ebb Tide. I know where I want to go, but am unsure how I'm going to get there.
As always, if anyone wants to ready what I am working on, just drop me a line.
Thanks for all of your concern and take care,
