diane is happy to finally catch a break. the femme shut down her bakery for the day, ready to allow herself to let loose. a smile spread across her features at the sight of teddy, glad she convinced him to come out. “ teddy ! ” she exclaims, arms wrapping around him to give him a hug. “ i think 2022 looks good on you, ” she jokes, goofy grin on her features as she straightens out the pair he wore. her eyes follow his nod, understanding without the need for any verbal response. following him there, she tries to focus on him instead of the large crowd around them. she hears the counting of the folks around her, but blocks it out. instead, she focuses on his voice. when he kisses her, diane’s hand caresses his jaw as she rings in the new year with her favorite person.
