This is definitely comforting. Not a cross word (really), not a blip and nothing nasty to dash Dylan and Michele’s happiness. This is cute and timeless, all about empowering Michele and making her believe in herself. A delicious dinner event and a tearful family reunion all add to the affect. Perhaps a little too perfect and sweet, but always better that way.

Waitress Michele dreams of becoming an event planner in her quaint mountain village. When restaurant owner Dylan recruits her to organize a charity dinner, she knows it's her big career break. Yet without credentials, she worries she'll fail her hardworking boss. As they collaborate, they grow closer, stirring long-buried feelings.

This sweet, low-angst short story offers romance and Christmas magic. It's a nice way to get in the mood for the holidays.
