12 Wishes of Christmas Page #5

all on your own, did you?

I don't have time

for this right now.

I have a meeting with Jack

in ten minutes.

As of now, you're

officially off Dahlberg.

You did not just say that to me.

Yes, I did.

Well, I've got one

for you. I quit!

Wha... Faith!

I didn't mean for...

Come on. Faith.

Ohh!

Hi. Uh, peppermint

gingerbread latte?

You know, I'll just have a tea, please.

Thank you. Tea? Okay.

Laura, hey.

It's not what it looks like. Oh!

Laura, we're just friends.

Who kiss on the lips?

Look, if it wasn't for Nadine,

I wouldn't have a book deal.

No, Morgan, if it wasn't for me,

you wouldn't have a book deal.

I wished it.

What are you talking about,

you wished it?

I made it happen.

All of it.

The flowers, the publishing

deal, everything.

I wished for the things

that you wouldn't give me.

Laura, you know what?

I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything, Morgan.

It's over.

Laura.

Laura, wait!

Are you coming home

for Christmas

Should I keep the fire bright

Are you coming home

for Christmas this year

To make the season right

Hi, Laura honey, it's your mom.

Brace yourself for some

Lindsey family gossip.

Your cousin Lainie

got engaged last night!

She told me she saw something on Twitter

about you breaking up with Morgan.

Honey, you know,

Morgan is such a nice guy,

and you're getting to that age

where it's time to settle down.

Maybe you should come

out here for Christmas.

I am not going home now.

My life is a colossal disaster!

Be up here all cozy

with Mom and Dad.

Eat some good

home-cooked food.

To trim

our Christmas tree

'Cause the only gift

I wish for this year

Is to have you

home with me

Oh, hey, excuse me.

Hello? Can you tell me

if Faith is in today?

And what makes you think

she wants to talk to you?

Noel!

Where have you been?

No "Hello. How are you? How's

the halo hanging?" Nothing?

My life is a disaster.

Oh, how can that be?

You got all your wishes.

I just want everything to go

back to the way it was before.

Really? You didn't seem

very happy then.

Well, then can I just

have one more wish?

No, the terms and conditions

you agreed to.

Don't you remember?

I know, but it's...

Twelve wishes per person,

per lifetime.

No refunds, no returns, period.

But everything

is so screwed up now.

What can I do to fix it?

Come here.

Do you remember the dream you used

to have when you were a little girl?

The table was full

of delicious food,

and everybody sitting

around it was starving.

Oh, yeah. And all the

people had forks for hands.

Mm-hmm. But they

couldn't feed themselves

because their arms wouldn't bend.

That's the one.

Do you remember

what you did about it?

No.

You taught them that if

they reach across the table

and feed one another,

then everybody could eat.

Oh, that's right.

See?

You're a natural helper, Laura.

Listen. I think it's why you

joined Best Buddies to begin with.

Well, helping dogs is one thing,

but fixing people's lives?

Oh I need you.

Oh, no, you don't

need me, baby girl.

You've got everything you need

right there, right in your heart.

That's it?

Yeah.

That's the best you can do?

"Follow your heart"?

I mean, you're an angel,

for crying out loud!

There's gotta be some sort

of an emergency loophole.

Oh, there are no loopholes.

Besides, God loves to deal

with matters of the heart.

That's where he works the best.

Listen.

Why don't you go

have a cup of coffee

and think about what I'm saying.

Okay? Oh.

Yes? Oh, yes, sir.

Gotta go. Angel meeting.

Thank you.

Thank you for calling

Fratelli's.

Okay. Hey, Sandra?

Yeah? The phone is for you.

Thanks. Hello?

Yeah, this is she.

What do you mean you're not going

to cover her after the first?

She's just about

to start her treatment.

Look, I can...

I am doing the best I can.

The insulin is expensive.

I just lost my job.

I'm sure that there is something

that we can work out.

I realize that

the Volara plan is better,

but that doesn't change the fact

that my daughter is still sick.

Please.

Fine.

You got your wish.

I'm outta here tomorrow.

Okay, Noel.

I am gonna fix this.

I won't forget

I can do it.

Living without you

There you are, baby girl.

Hey.

Hey, what?

You win a sports car

and you just take off?

I know. I'm sorry.

I've just been

so crazy with work.

I haven't had a lot of time to get here.

Well, don't worry.

Your friend's been taking

good care of Ashley for you.

My friend?

Uh-huh.

Do you volunteer here often?

Do I know you?

Handsome guy you left brokenhearted

in the parking lot the other day.

Tsk. No, it doesn't

ring a bell.

No, no, no.

Notice the jaw line?

You know, on second thought,

you do kind of look familiar.

I'll have you know I was so upset,

I slept in the parking lot.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

That is terrible.

Yeah.

Okay, you two.

I don't mind if you flirt,

just clean while you do.

There's no flirting going on

here. She has a boyfriend.

- Hands are off over here.

- Uh-huh.

Had a boyfriend.

What?

Yeah.

Do you wanna tell me

what happened?

Oh, yeah, it's, uh...

What always happens?

You know, girl meets boy, girl

wishes for everything for boy,

and girl sees boy

kissing another woman.

So, there you have it.

Wow, Laura.

Sorry that happened.

No, no, don't be.

Really.

It's for the best.

Do you want to go somewhere,

do something?

Now?

You mean like on a date?

Well, if you're not ready for that

kind of thing, I totally understand.

Uh, no, yeah.

No, I mean yeah. Yes.

I would like to do that, yeah.

Really? Yeah. Do you

like ice skating?

Are you serious?

Yeah.

I haven't skated

since I was like twelve.

Okay, great. Well, I'll pick

you up when you fall down.

Okay. I'm gonna hold you to that.

All right.

Whoo! Okay. All right. I'm good.

Wah! Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm good. I'm good.

Okay, look, so

So I have to ask you.

Why are you so into me?

Wow. That was really direct.

I know, I know,

but I'm serious. Why?

Okay. Uh

It's the way you are with the

animals at the sanctuary.

You're so kind and giving,

and I thought that anybody that

could be that sweet to a dog

is worth having around.

And you're really hot.

Well, thank you.

You're welcome.

I just thought we were

being candid, so Yes.

Uh, you know, uh...

We have this

fashion show at work.

We're recruiting a new client,

and it's on Christmas Eve.

Would you like to go?

Wow. Usually the girl waits

till the end of the date

to ask me out again, but...

Well, as we

have established, I am...

You are very direct.

Yes. Direct.

I like to just...

I would love to.

You would?

I would love to. Yes.

Okay, well, great. Great. Okay.

Yeah.

Are you hungry?

Should we get something to eat?

Yeah.

Oh, holy night

The stars

are brightly shining

Yummy!

Oh-ho-ho!

Very.

So

how long you been coming here?

Oh, I guess about a year.

My best friend volunteers here.

She teaches a skating

clinic once a week.

So she usually
