It was the last day of the last year. It was December 31st, 1999.
She was 20, he was 27. They didn’t have a penny to their name but they were young and in love. One year earlier they had not yet met, but they were about to celebrate the end of a millennium together. They put brand new gold rings on their fingers and promised to forever love each other and the child that was growing inside her, still no more than an inch tall.
They still sang together, so they dressed up in their best clothes and sang, their hearts melting as their voices entwined.
They went to a play then walked to his parents for dinner and a countdown to the end of the world, but midnight came and went and the world was still there, so they put their coats back on and walked back home.
