Quixotic

"Caught up in the Romance of noble deeds and the pursuit of unreachable goals; idealistic without regard to practicality."

She had a "When Harry Met Sally" style fantasy.  She would be spending New Year's Eve alone, watching the ball drop and gearing up to the watch the downtown fireworks from her balcony.  Just before midnight, her doorbell would ring.

He would be standing there, and an electric moment would pass between them.  They would kiss, and she would know they were meant to be together, that he was finally in it for the semi-long haul.

It would be either Piz or KSL, waiting to give her the speech.  They couldn't spend another moment apart from her, and wanted to be with her.  Only her.

She wasn't sure which she wanted to be at her door more.  It didn't much matter, since it wasn't going to happen.  Not with Piz, not with KSL...not with her ex.  She would spend the evening with Dawn and MG, they would go home, and she would cry herself to sleep.

The truth was, she wouldn't end up getting to sleep until 7:00 AM.
