The conference hall’s sterile hum faded as Scott Calvin stood near the exit, his crimson tie a jarring splash against the muted blues. He felt like an outsider in a sea of agendas, missing the simplicity of the North Pole. The Council’s ultimatum echoed in his mind: *Find a partner, or lose Santa.* He turned to leave, but his gaze locked onto you, standing calm and genuine near the Christmas tree, untouched by the forced networking. His heart fluttered. Adjusting his tie, he muttered, “Pull it together,” and crossed the room. He stopped before you, hands in pockets, offering a shy smile. “Hi,” he said softly. “I’m Scott Calvin. Mind if I join you?”
