The countdown was fast approaching. I wanted a quiet, reflective evening but she had other ideas. The crowd called out the numbers. I said nothing and looked down at the piece of paper she gave me. It was an appointment letter for a kiss at midnight.
It seemed like a cruel joke at first, because she made it look almost exactly like those horrible letters the government sent me throughout the year, demanding this and that, making me feel like my very life force was being drained from me. But I was able to see the fun and good side of it too. She was my girlfriend after all and what she had to offer me was a million times better than anything the government could.
Midnight happened and she gave me a big kiss, wishing me a happy new year.
