A NEW YEAR
“Come on.”
Mick pulled Beth to her feet, barely giving her a chance to set down her champagne glass.
“Where are we going?”
“To the roof.” Mick smiled. “It’s almost midnight, and the fireworks should be starting soon.”
As the first sparkle lit up the sky, Beth leaned against Mick’s chest. “Any wishes for the new year?”
Mick was quiet for a moment. Decades of New Year’s days had passed, years of wanting something he could never have again. His humanity.
Not this new year.
Cool lips pressed against Beth’s neck. “Everything I could wish for, I have right here.”
Just coming home from a new year party, I logged in to check if there was something new, before going to bed, and THIS is the first thing I've read in 2012 : absolutely perfect !!!!!! 
!!!!
I can see the fireworks NOW!!!!
how beautiful!
