Will

The ride down in the elevator was much less euphoric than the ride up. They were in a different car and it wasn’t decorated as festively as the one that took them to Santaland. The mistletoe was notably absent. And after what the Santa impersonator told Will, he wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or not.

Will kept glancing at Emma cautiously. It’s not that he didn’t believe Santa, or Franklin, rather. Franklin was the son of the super in Will’s building. He was only a few years older than Will, and was going to school for acting in the city. He’d been moonlighting as Santa at Macy’s for the past few years. So when Will was planning his day with Emma and Colin, he’d asked Franklin to tell him what they wished for so Will could swoop in and be the Christmas hero.

Of course Will hadn’t taken into account that both Emma and Colin would wish for things that he couldn’t buy. Will had been completely caught off guard by both of their requests. Colin wished for ‘the best Christmas ever.’ A nearly impossible task considering Will didn’t know anything about Colin’s previous holidays. And with Emma’s wish . . . he didn’t even know where to start. She wished she could make things right with him. Had she meant Will or Colin? And if she had meant Will, what had she done that she needed to make right? Did it mean she wanted something more?

Will was still pondering the endless possibilities of meanings when they arrived at the ground floor. The elevator doors slid open and they filed out, starting toward the exit until Colin pulled them back.

“Wait,” Colin called tugging at Emma’s arm.

“What’s up?” she asked.

“Will you help me pick out a Christmas present?”

She smiled. “Sure. Who’s it for?”

Colin waved her closer and whispered something in her ear.

Emma stood up and looked slyly at Will. “Oh, okay. Sure. That’s a good idea, buddy.” She faced Will. “Do you mind if we do some quick shopping?”

“Yeah. Of course.” Will started to follow them back into the maze of fragrances and cosmetics but Emma held her hand up.

“You kinda need to sit this one out,” she whispered nodding toward Colin, who was grinning like a criminal.

“We’re picking out something for you,” Colin said shyly.

Emma put her hands on her hips. “Colin, it’s not a surprise if you give it away,” she teased.

Colin giggled. “Oops!”

Will laughed and took the pile of jackets from Emma’s arms. “I’ll wait at the café on two. Have fun.”

“Thanks.” Emma grinned and took Colin’s hand.

As Will watched them go a knot tightened in his stomach. He needed to find a way to save their Christmas, and quickly.
