Leaning Into a Wish

3.75

A little Christmas short in the Leaning Into series.

Ryan is one of Wes's permanent employees at the winery. He's that annoying guy who tried, halfheartedly, to get between Nick & Wes. He's a bit of a pill and a prickly pear, but I guess we all deserve a chance. Danny is the current intern who may or may not stay as a permanent employee. Danny likes to get a rise out of Ryan and shamelessly flirt at the same time.

Danny made the story for me. He was honest, open, daring, and optimistic. He doesn't sweat the small stuff, and though he's younger than Ryan, I'd say he's more mature. To me Ryan “doth protest too much”, but we all get to a point where we feel hopelessly burned out by disappointments. And that's what Christmas wishes are for. This story is the non-gooey variety.
