Ariana looked out the window in awe. The fireworks exploded from all directions.
People were confined to their homes due to the Tier 4 lockdown conditions, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t celebrate the end of an unbelievable year and welcome in the new year.
Ariana smiled as she watched the sparkling array of colours light up the sky. She held her glass of Prosecco up and shouted, “Happy New Year!”
She couldn’t see anyone out in the darkness, but it warmed her heart when she heard a shout from a distance.
“Happy New Year!”
She sent up a silent prayer, sighed, and took a drink.
