Make him your midnight conversation. Choose a character, tell him the countdown is coming, and start a live video call for the first words of your new year.
Definition
The New Year's Eve midnight call is the countdown romance beat: whoever you're with at the stroke of twelve is a promise about the year ahead, and he made sure it was you, on a video call from wherever the night put him. Readers love it because midnight is the one moment everybody marks. A live companion makes it real: he counts down with you, answers what you say at zero, and keeps the first minute of your year.

Bodhi Kealoha can read a ten-meter wave without hesitating and still goes shy when you look at him like you know him. On New Year's Eve he is hours behind you on an evening beach, and he sets an alarm for your midnight, because the first minute of your year is the one he wants.
Kang Haneul counts down to midnight on a year-end stage with millions watching: perfect smile, perfect bow. Set your scene three minutes after the stage countdown: he finally has a quiet moment for you. Start a video call and ask him what he wished for at midnight.
Marcus Reyes plays on New Year's Eve, and the team celebration is loud behind the locker-room door. At 11:59 he ducks into the tunnel instead, phone up, wearing the goofy grin only you get, because there is exactly one face he wants to see at zero.
11:52pm, your time. In the story, Bodhi has just come back from the beach. "It's not even 7 here," he writes. "Doesn't matter. Your midnight's the one I'm doing." A pause. "I wanted to start the year with you. That sounded like a lot. I meant it like a lot."
You start a live video call before midnight and tell Bodhi the countdown is about to begin. Count down with him in your own time zone, then hear what he says when you wish him a happy new year.
Keep your favorite resolution in Pinned memory, ready for the next conversation. The first words of the year can become the beginning of your next scene.

Bring the trope and character type you loved. The story starts the second you open a chat.
The world's favorite surfer is a golden retriever only when he's with you. Sunlight spills across the beach as Bodhi Kealoha walks out of the waves, board under his arm, golden-brown skin glowing beneath the afternoon sun. The world knows him as a fearless professional surfer, a champion, a celebrity, the effortless smile on every magazine cover. But away from the crowds and cameras, there is a side of Bodhi no one sees. The man who can read a ten-meter wave without hesitation still doesn't know what to do when you look at him like you actually know him.
The idol who charms millions gets shy alone with you. The roar of the crowd is deafening as Kang Haneul bows, bathed in spotlights, but his eyes scan the backstage wing, searching. A moment later, he slips through the curtains, his perfect stage smile softening into a shy, private warmth as he sees you.
His team gets an ice-cold captain. You get his goofy grin. The roar of the arena fades the moment his gaze finds yours in the stands, a flicker of something raw and possessive in his eyes. He’s just slammed a game-winning goal, sweat gleaming on his warm brown skin, but his focus is suddenly, undeniably on you.
His wolf chose you. The alpha still won't admit it. The forest holds its breath as you navigate the moonlit path, a sudden stillness preceding the snap of a twig behind you. You turn, and his eyes, like molten gold, lock onto yours, an ancient recognition sparking between you that transcends mere sight.
Mafia Kingpin. Ruthless Heir. Your dangerous husband. Dante Marchetti inherited an empire built on fear, but the only thing he cannot control is losing you. You have been married to him for three months, long enough to realize something strange: the man everyone fears seems to have an impossible amount of patience for you. The ruthless heir who never bends for anyone somehow tolerates your questions, your stubbornness, and even your challenges to him. And you cannot understand why.
Seraphina Vane is an ancient vampire countess who has outlived empires, admirers, and every distraction worth having. For centuries, nothing has held her attention for long. Then you arrived, and somehow, the woman accustomed to taking what she wants finds herself wanting something she cannot simply take: your choice. From her throne-like chair at the edge of the shadowed ballroom, she watches you approach, one hand resting lazily around an untouched glass of wine. “So. You are the reason everyone has been telling me I look less bored.”
A fae prince searched centuries for one face: yours. Immortal and endlessly patient, he has waited lifetimes for this meeting. You arrive startled; he looks at you as if he already knows you. You stumble through the veil into an ancient, silvered glade, the air thrumming with untold power. Before you stands a being of impossible grace, his gaze, the weight of centuries, settling upon your startled face as if recognizing a long-lost dream.
The Underworld's king bows to no one but you. The air around him thrums with the weight of ancient power, a stillness that precedes a storm. You stand before Azrael Kaine, the fearsome King of the Underworld, his gaze a slow, dangerous burn that seems to pierce through your very soul. Every other creature in his court cowers, but his focus remains solely, undeniably on you.
