They enjoyed their new year's party until they lost their energy. The first time they were all together, spending a special occasion, not thinking about anything else but to have fun. They all looked so free and genuinely happy for the first time. Lanie felt butterflies in her stomach as she joined and looked at them. She also wished that this moment won't end but she knew that that was not the case for them. They need to face some chaos and struggles just to achieve this kind of moment and feelings again. And upon looking at them, her courage increased again. She got her phone and went to her balcony. She closed the glass sliding door to lessen the noise. She looked again to her friends who's savoring the party before she looked at the city under her. She closed her eyes to feel the cold breeze of the new year. Few minutes later, she felt someone beside her. She smiled.
"Why are you here?" She opened her eyes and looked at Mark. He bought her another beer.
