88...Mate year...

Barry sounded calm, looked relaxed, smiled charmingly and I wondered what was up with him.

I guess he was able to bring out his pains through the song and that was a good thing that touched me too.

The new year breeze felt cool on my skin and Barry's hand holding mine felt heartwarming.

He stood straight and tall in front of me, taking up my other hand to hold. "Happy new year, baby" He caressed the back of my palm by slowly sliding his thumb on it "I never imagined my new year to be this way"

I stared at his face, my lips slightly opened. "Why?" I asked quietly.

He shrugged and turned towards the road, now back to holding just one of my hand "The Alpha's health and our relationship, a lot of dramas, who would have thought those things would happen during the holiday"

I rubbed my lips with my tongue, waiting for him to continue.
