"Are you excited?" Luke asked, looking down at his five year old daughter, Ella. She was jumping up and down on her little feet anxiously as they waited in line for their turn. Her brown hair bounced up and down her shoulders, her blue eyes dancing excitingly.

It was their first Christmas when they didn't went to see Santa with Sarah, her mom and Luke's ex-wife. Luke and Sarah had gotten a divorce earlier this year, Luke getting full custody of Ella. They had explained everything to Sarah as easy as they could – except the why of the divorce. Ella didn't fully understand what had happened, clearly, but she never asked questions and Luke was grateful for that. Luke didn't cry, but he still felt sad about the whole situation. Not anymore, though.

"Of course I am!" Ella squealed, her hand gripping Luke's tightly. "It's Santa!" She giggled and turned her attention back to the front, trying to catch a glimpse of the man wearing a red and white costume by standing on her tiptoes. Luke couldn't imagine a life without her.

After a few minutes of more waiting, it was almost their turn. They were only three parents with their children in front of them and Luke knew Ella was growing nervous when she started tapping her foot on the floor instead of bouncing up and down.

"What if he doesn't like me?" She whispers, her blue eyes losing their sparkle. Luke crouched down to her level and tucked a strand of her golden hair behind her ear.

"Of course he'll like you," He booped her nose, – which was the same as Luke's – making her giggle. "You're adorable."

Ella nodded and took a deep breath, her eyes returning to their usual state; bright and full of life. "That's true."

Luke shook his head fondly and patted her head, before standing up and taking her hand on his own. When Luke looked to the front, he noticed they were next to go. Two boys dressed as elves came up to them, greeting them with an obviously fake smile on their face. Luke couldn't blame them; those thighs looked extremely uncomfortable. He tried not to laugh by biting his lip.

"You can wait here while your daughter talks to Santa," One of them said. The other lead Ella to Santa and picked her up to place her on the man's lap. Luke nodded and thanked the boy. When the elf left to stand at the front with the other elf, he got his phone out of his pocket and played around a little with tumblr.

"Hi," Ella giggled, her hands placed on her lap, fiddling with the hem of her My Little Pony t-shirt.

"Hello, sweetheart," The man dressed as Santa greeted her with a dimpled smile. Ella thought it was cute. "What do you want for Christmas?"

Ella's face lighted up like a Christmas tree, a big grin expanding across her face. "Okay," She took a deep breath and pointed over at Luke. "That's my daddy; he's lonely. I want you to get him a girlfriend. Or a boyfriend. Doesn't matter."

The man's eyes followed Ella's finger, his breath hitching when his eyes collided with who was supposed to be Ella's dad. He had dirty blond hair and he was wearing a black t-shirt that made his shoulders look incredibly broad. He had a beard growing on his chin and down his neck and long legs that Calum immediately imagined wrapped around his hips. Calum thought he was too beautiful to be real.
