A gift for the New Year! This is a short story without an intricate plot, but I really hope that you will like it and give you joy! :)  Life does not often please us with happy moments. We rarely get to see our loved ones, buy something we like, engage in a favorite hobby, or just sit at home on the sofa, forgetting about work and household chores. All these infrequent events, sometimes you can count them on your fingers. And an even more rare event in our lives is a chance meeting with our soulmate. Or just a sudden realization that this very soulmate is very close to you.
