On the square, a group of young people joyously embraced the coming year.
Luxurious cars were parked nearby, a testament to their wealthy owners.
And amidst it all, Mark caught a glimpse of Cecilia.

Her flushed cheeks and laughter seemed even more enchanting than the fireworks themselves.
Observing Ceciliaâs happiness from afar, Mark realized how much he missed her.
