Chapter Seven

Christmas Eve Eve, 2008

Ryan was sure he was going to tell Angelica the truth. As he rowed across The Wreath, he knew what he had to tell her: the truth. Today would be the day he finally did it.

He had to tell her that he was, for the season, a reindeer shifter.

He had to tell her why he was a reindeer shifter. Everything that had happened.

I told you, there’s no Christmas secret, said Dancer.

I’m sorry I didn’t listen to you before, said Ryan. Today, I’ll tell her everything. About why I’m here. About what I need to do. She’ll understand.

But, when Ryan walked up to Angelica, who was sitting inside the cafe, eating a white chocolate cranberry scone, and he saw her eyes when she looked up at him, he knew he couldn’t tell her the truth.

The twinkling stars in Angelica’s eyes were gone. She didn’t look upset to see him, but she didn’t seem particularly happy to see him either.

“Hey,” said Ryan, taking a seat across from Angelica.

“Yeah?” asked Angelica.

“I was wondering how you are,” said Ryan.

You absolute, total idiot, said Dancer. Just tell her. It’s been nearly two weeks since it happened. It’s the day before Christmas Eve. Don’t you think you’re cutting it close?

“I’m fine,” said Angelica.

She doesn’t want me, said Ryan. If I tell her I’m the reindeer shifter, then her fantasy about that guy is ruined.

You’re a stripper, said Dancer. Isn’t your whole job helping women’s fantasies come true?

She’s no ordinary woman, said Ryan.

“I wanted to apologize,” said Ryan. “I wanted to tell you that…I’m sorry I didn’t do more when that guy bothered you.”

“What do you mean ‘do more’?” asked Angelica. “You did nothing.”

“I, uh, couldn’t fight him off,” lied Ryan. “That other guy joined and helped. I was a coward and left. I’m sorry.”

“Apology accepted,” said Angelica. “Took you long enough. To tell you the truth, I was starting to think you’d never apologize.

“Sorry about taking way too long to apologize too,” said Ryan. “What are you working on?”

“Maybe you can help me,” said Angelica. “I am still trying to figure out what to make for this holiday office party.”

“For Santana?” asked Ryan. “I’m surprised you’re still working on that. Smart gal like you, well, I’d expect you’d already have it done.”

“You calling me stupid?” asked Angelica, crossing her arms.

“If I was calling you stupid, why would I describe you as a ‘smart gal?’” Ryan sassed right back. “Have you run any of your ideas past Avery?”

“Yeah,” said Angelica. “ Everything I come up with has already been done before.”

“Then forget doing a theme. You can make the party unique in another way. Why don’t you just make what Santana likes to eat?” asked Ryan.

“I’ve never met him,” said Angelica.

“I saw him with coffee and a breakfast sandwich,” said Ryan.

“Everyone likes breakfast sandwiches,” said Angelica.

“In the afternoon?” asked Ryan.

“He was eating one in the afternoon?” asked Angelica. “You might be onto something here. You ever hear about ‘breakfast for dinner’? Well, what
