New Years:

It's 4:15 on New Year's Eve and I don't know what to do. I have to drop Rusty off at a party tonight at his friend's house so I'm going to be alone tonight. The one night no one wants to be alone. It'll just be like every year though. Just like every year.

*phone rings*: "Sharon Raydor."

"Hey Sharon it's me." Says a very familiar voice on the phone. I smile.

"Hey, Andy. How are you?"

"I'm doin' alright. Hey, I was wondering if you were doing anything tonight?" I can almost see that boyish grin on his face.

"Um… No… I have to drop Rusty off at his friend's house at 7 but other than that no."
"Awesome. Do you want to go catch a movie then? 'Cause well… My family for some reason doesn't want me around this year," he says almost too sarcastically, "And so I was thinking…"

"Why don't you spend New Year's with your boss?"

"I was thinking my friend, Sharon." His grin is becoming clearer and clearer by the second.

"Yeah how bout I meet you at the ArcLight around 8?"

"Yeah that sounds good. I'll see you then."

"See you then."

"Bye."

Bye. I hung up the phone with a little to much joy. Not joy to not be speaking with him anymore, of course. Just joy. I don't know why. But at least I won't be spending New Year's alone.
