Auld Lang Syne

They danced together in front of the window overlooking downtown Saint Paul. The lyrics of Auld Lang Syne floated through their ears, and as she held on to him tightly she could feel his breath brushing the side of her cheek.Swaying together just like everyone else around them, the world was finally peaceful. With her head laying gently on his chest she watched the snow fall outside, onto the bridge, onto the tiny little people walking down the street. She smiled wishing that perhaps she could be outside in the snow too, but quickly realized just how perfect everything was in this moment.

She felt his hand resting on the small of her back pressing gently as he lead her around the dance floor and she laughed when he grabbed her hand and spun her around. The bottom of her silky black dress flared out as he spun her around on the wooden dance floor. Their eyes met momentarily before he pulled her in close again, and for a moment, she was lost in the depths of his sky blue eyes. He flashed a smile at her... that smile. The smile that reassured her that this was meant to be. The smile that told her so many stories without ever speaking one word.

For auld lang syne, my dear
