It was roughly an hour before the New Year would strike. You were sitting alone in the bedroom, watching films on your laptop.

Simon, your boyfriend, was supposed to come back yesterday but due to the snowstorm it was now certain that all your plans to spend the holidays together were doomed. You felt lonely and shitty.

Suddenly, you heard someone's footsteps in the hallway and as you got up in a panic the door opened; you saw no one else but Simon.

"Happy New Year, bonny."
