Summary
“Yep,” he replied. “I think it helped her feel better. Also, can I just ask…?”
“Yeah, yeah, you can ask ahead,” the girl replied. Before Ekko could ask, though, she began rambling a little Isha summary. “She’s allergic to shellfish; she loves bunnies and beetles, which, weird combo, not gonna lie; she has a habit of biting, but hopefully she won’t bite the other kids, and, what else…?”
“That’s all good to know,” Ekko told her, which wasn’t a lie, “but I was gonna ask for your name.”
“Oh! Oh, yeah, right, makes sense,” the other snorted before reaching a hand out. She had done her nails, alternating bright blue and pink. Ekko squeezed it. “Name’s Jinx.”
Ekko has been teaching for only a month before his boss knocks on his classroom's door to ask if he can welcome in a newcoming student. There is no way he could have expected the kid's mom to be his age and basically about the most entrancing person he's ever laid his eyes on. If he falls for her over the autumn term... What can he say? It's not like he ever stood a chance.

Summary
“How about a bet?”
Keith paused.
“If I can make you fall in love with the holidays by Christmas night, you’ll take the shift.”
Keith snorted, turning to face Lance. He kept that vaguely annoyed smile on his face, but nothing could hide the gleam of interest in his eyes.
“You’re not going to make that happen.”
“Okay,” Lance shrugged. “Then what’s the harm of taking the bet?”
Keith’s eyes rose to the ceiling, thinking.
“And,” Lance rushed in, “and I’ll sweeten the deal. I’ll work New Years as well.”
Now that got Keith’s attention.
They had drawn straws for who would work New Years Day weeks ago. It was one of the worst shifts for a toy store. Being deathly hungover while listening to kids scream and toys screech was the stuff of nightmares. Keith had lost and was stuck with the shift.
A slow grin tugged at Keith’s lips. “You’re insane.”***
When Lance gets stuck with the Christmas shift, he immediately turns to Keith, a self-proclaimed Scrooge, to cover the shift. When Keith refuses, Lance offers up a bet. If he can make Keith fall in love with the holidays before Christmas, Keith will take the shift. Nonsense straight from a Hallmark movie follows.
