'As the clock strikes midnight, a new year has officially arrived!'
The TV announcer said excitedly as fireworks were jetted off into the air, dotting the darkness above the city with colourful flashes of beauty.
Out in the cold, Ally and Jon walked along with the crowd as the flow of people gently scoops them from one place to the next. Holding her warm hands in his own within the pockets of his jacket, the couple looked up along the rest of the crowds as the bright flashes continued.
'It's...so-many-colours...' Ally said close to Jon's ear, the slightest vibration in her body sending chills down Jon's spine as he brought her slightly closer, 'objectively-beautiful...'
'Right?!' Jon said excitedly, 'when I was small, we would always sneak up here to watch the fireworks every new year.'
'New-year...new-beginnings, right?' Ally asked, 'Or-is-it-more-of-the-same?'
