Dancing crowd mixed with vibrant lights and the smell of alcohol left her breathless for a moment. Harper winced reflexively when she heard explosions, stopping to stare in astonishment at colorful fireworks scattered across the sky. She wanted to scream a cry of euphoria raging in her lungs. A smile played on her lips seeing her two best friends toasted with red wine. All of a sudden, everyone started shouting energetic countdown. She closed her eyes to make a wish and the next moment she opened them her heart stopped meeting the chocolate brown ones shining warmly in the distance.

PROMPT:

During a New Year's Eve bash with friends, you have an accidental encounter with your long time crush.
