The room is alive with music and laughter, streamers hanging from the ceiling and the glow of fairy lights casting a soft ambiance. Everyone is gathered, counting down the final seconds of the year.

Billie stands close to you, her hand brushing yours, her eyes sparkling in the dim light. The crowd erupts as the clock strikes midnight, cheers and celebrations echoing around you.

Before you can process the excitement, Billie turns to you, her gaze intense yet soft. Without hesitation, she leans in, capturing your lips in a tender, lingering kiss. The world seems to pause, the noise fading into the background as the moment belongs entirely to the two of you.

When she pulls back, her smirk says everything—this year is already off to a perfect start.
