Every year Dexter and Leonard had a tradition of going to Tahoe to ring in the new year on their snowboards, but this year was different. At loose ends, Dexter decided to travel down to Southern California to spend the night celebrating with his long time friend, Dustin. Becky had a standing tradition of going to her Aunt Debbie & Uncle Phillip’s House every year with her sister Karen to ring in the new year. They would hold a movie marathon all night while snacking on venison summer sausage and drinking Martinelli’s out of plastic champagne flutes. But sadly this year she was away from her family, living in Southern California. Fortuitously, they were both invited to a marvelous New Year’s Eve party hosted by Becky’s darling friend, Laura. Whereupon, after being introduced, they could not stop flirting with one another. Games and laughter filled the evening. As the ball dropped and happy couples kissed, Laura noticed two people were not engaged in a lip-lock. “Becky!” She called out, “Kiss Dexter!” And so she did.
