Epiphany

All it takes is a little kindness and a lot of action...

Kael Selwyn is absolutely sick and tired of Christmas. Like every other waiter in the city, he's had to endure mobs of hungry shoppers with lists miles long, more money than he makes in a month, and just barely enough manners to fill a thimble. Now his employer expects him to completely debase himself in an outfit ten sizes too small. But... a man -- even an elf -- has to eat, so he swallows the last vestiges of his pride and manages to wiggle into the costume.

Ryan Garrett loves Christmas, even if the crowds are a bit much. He ducks into a packed restaurant, hoping for a bit of reprieve from the traffic, and can't help but grin at the servers all dressed in costumes: women as Mrs. Claus (albeit sexy ones), and the guys dressed as elves. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves -- except for the snarly elf who shows up to take his dinner order.

By the time he hits dessert, Ryan has a plan: to show the gorgeous elven waiter that Christmas means a whole lot more than crowds and stress.
