"I gotta leave you, it's gonna hurt me
My clothes are dirty, and my friends are getting worried
Down there below us, under the clouds
Baby take my hand and pull me down, down, down, down
And I'll be dreaming of the next time we can go
Into another serotonin overflow"

Amy's plane lands in Sydney and she is glad to be somewhere warm in December. She goes straight to her hotel as she is feeling exhausted from the eight hour flight in a cramped, economy class seat. She gets to the front desk and gives the woman her information.

"Miss.Bernier, it looks like you have been upgraded. You're in a harbor view suite now. It's all been paid for. Let me get your room key for you."

Amy gets to the elevator and takes out her phone to call Harry, thinking he must have been the one to upgrade her. It rings only once before he answers.

"Hey babe."

"Hey baby. So, I just got to my hotel and someone upgraded me. Do you know anything about that?"

"No, nothing at all," he says and she can tell he's smirking, "Strange."

The elevator door opens as she arrives on her floor. She walks, looking for her room number.

"Well, I'd like to thank the person who did it. I'd much rather it be an in-person thank you but I can settle for a FaceTime later."

She gets to her room and swipes the key card, balancing her phone between her ear and her shoulder so she can open the door. She pushes it open and is met by her favorite face in the world.

"How about in-person?" he says to her with a big smile, still holding his phone to his ear.

"Baby!" and she drops all of her stuff to the floor, including her phone and runs to jump into his arms. She starts peppering his face and neck with kisses as she grips it with both of her hands.

"How are you here?!" she asks bewildered.

"I had plans to go to Japan to visit a friend for a couple weeks so I just made a little detour on the way."

"Really?"

"I also selfishly wanted a New Year's kiss from you," he says smirking at her.

She gives him a pouting face that says you're adorable and he blushes under the look.

"This is twice you've flown somewhere to see me. Better watch out or I may think you really like me?" she teases him.

He kisses her now. Long and hard on the mouth, with her still lifted up in his arms and her legs wrapped around him. The kiss takes her breath away and she is surprised that he can still have that effect on her. Like every kiss is the first time.

"There's no one else I'd rather start a new year with," he whispers to her. She feels her heart flutter at his words and gets an intense feeling of joy thinking about him flying all this way when they just saw each other four days ago.

"Bedroom. Now," she says to him.

"Yes, ma'am," he says smiling.

Harry carries her through the living room and opens a door to the bedroom.  A large king bed flanks the one wall and the curtains are open revealing the Sydney Harbor. The sun is setting and the view is breathtaking.
