Techie kept carefully out of sight until three minutes to midnight, stressing over what he was going to do when the time was right. His crush was five feet away, looking small and just as anxious as him in her thick coat, hands in her pockets. Two minutes left. “Sarah? Uh, Sarah?” The crowd in the lounge was thick. Techie had to squeeze through and push people out of the way to make it to her. Once they stood next to each other, Sarah looked up at him and smiled. 

“Hi, Techie!” She’s so beautiful that his mouth goes dry, but it’s now or never. 

“I know th-this is crazy… b-but can I kiss you? For midnight?” This is awkward and stupid! Sarah will never- 

Her eyes go wide. “Oh! Yes! That’s- that’s fine!” 

In the very first moments of the New Year, they shared their very first kiss.
