Synopsis

It was the night before Millennium’s Eve, I’ve lit the room with candles and Johanna came late from work. We fell in love with each other at the age of fifteen and daily life wasn’t easy for a couple like us. Especially when you’re short on money and even more when one part of the couple didn’t quite meet other people’s expectations.

But most time we got along somehow. Johanna worked for low payment in a supermarket, while I took on a tough job at a factory. We had little time together during the workdays. My nightshift and her daytime job didn’t match very well.

Johanna joined me on the sofa, took two sparklers out of her bag, bent both in shape of a half heart, and lit them at a candle. I couldn’t help smiling, all sorrows aside.

“I’m so excited! what do you think the new year’ll bring us?” She quirked an eyebrow. Of course, I knew what she was pondering on right now. In her voice was the well-known trace of uncertainty.
