Description
My parents always made a big deal about New Year's. The crashing of Eve into Day, that twirling ball, the screaming people on the streets, and us in the living room with all the lights off, watching, whispering, waiting for that release, the heavy baggage of the past year lifted with three words, the first, of course, being "Happy." We would jump off the couch. We loved America. We loved each other. We looked forward to the dozen clusters of fresh days ahead of us. We smiled in our sleep that night. We tried to carry the feeling into January as long as possible. This year, I woke New Year's Day to a guy paying an excruciating amount of attention to my hair. Raking his hands through it. Yanking out an occasional strand.
