The music stops, and the drunken crowd starts counting down from ten. At midnight, my phone beeps in my hand.
 
 Annie: Our phones still work!
 
 Me: Going home to check the fridge ;) I hope tomorrow’s a raging success.
 
 Annie: Thank you. Happy New Year x
 
 I stare at the x on the screen. Minutes go by.
 
 Me: Wish you were here.
 
 I delete the message.
 
 Me: I fucking miss you.
 
 I delete that also.
 
 Me: Happy New Year, Wilson.
