Teddy Bear Christmas — C.C. Bridges

Two lonely men, a lost teddy bear, and a sprinkle of holiday magic. On a snowy night before Christmas Eve, Tyler Martin finds himself stuck in a Chicago airport, unable to get home to his family on the East Coast. After missing last year due to his jerk of an ex-boyfriend, the idea of not making it this time hurts. When he finds a lost teddy bear in the waiting area, his night changes for the better. Aaron Klein is a bored airport worker, taking the Christmas shift because he's Jewish. He doesn't expect to hit it off with the hot guy who brings a lost teddy bear to his desk, but it might end up being everything he didn't know he was looking for. A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2015 Advent Calendar package "Sleigh Ride".
