closed starter for @nataliarosas
Nate had taken a spot against the cool brick wall to avoid the bustling that was settling down and pairing off for the final countdown to midnight. Crossing his legs at the ankle, he sighed, this part always the hardest. His right hand mindlessly reached for Cosmo, combing through his service dog’s soft coat when someone brushed his arm. He looked up, already saying an apology when he recognized the person from his first trip into town. “Natalia?” The corner of his mouth tugged into a little smile of greeting as everyone started to count down from ten.
