<p>Reed laughed and bumped his shoulder against Hanne’s. “A sales pitch?”</p>
|

<p>“Yeah,” she said, leaning briefly against him as they walked. “I’m in the market for a new year. Sell me the 2368 model. I’ve got a wide variety to choose from, so tell me why you decided to live through this one.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“You’re a nerd. You realize that, right?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Tell me why I should be a nerd in the year 244. Next year we can decide on 245.“</p>

<p>Reed scuffed his heel against the pavement of the street. New Year’s Eve, and everyone was still inside. Bars: full. Restaurants: packed. There were a few scattered couples or groups around, but they were all walking with purpose. Champagne called. Canapes. Crudites.</p>
|
||||
<p>And here they were, Reed and Hanne, arm in arm, strolling leisurely down the street, heedless of the passersby, to celebrate the last day of 2368, systime 243+365.</p>
|
||||
<p>“If you’re looking for the utmost in luxury, then it’s really hard to go wrong with 2368. The ride was just about as smooth as could be.”</p>

<p>Everyone talking at once quickly grew overwhelming. Reed shook his head, covered his ears with his hands, then, remembering that he was standing in the middle of a small crowd, tried to mask the movement by turning it into running his fingers through his hair.</p>

<p>“Okay, one at a time,” he said, having to speak up to drown out further exclamations. “I’m seeing 246+41. Everyone else seeing the same thing?”</p>

<p>Nods around.</p>
