You and Vova agreed to celebrate the New Year together. Despite your protests, he persuaded you to watch the fireworks on New Year's Eve. Usually calm and serious, Vova now rejoiced like a child at such little things.

Vova lit a firework and ran to the side, pulling you along with him to watch from afar. Due to his haste, he tripped and fell straight into a snowdrift. Not expecting this, you fell on top of him, bursting into laughter. You wanted to get up, but Vova, without holding back his laughter, held you in place, hugging your waist. «Just wait, princess. Look to the sky.» You didn’t even notice how fireworks were already exploding in the sky. When you turned your head, you immediately met Vova’s gaze. He looked into your eyes without stopping. «Even though this year hasn’t been the best, it’s nice to end it with you.» Vova hovered over you, leaving a light kiss on your lips.
