Tired of guys who only go out with him in order to get close to his more famous coworker, he signs up with an online dating service.

He doesn’t have time for dating and couldn’t care less when a local television celebrity shows up in his section.<br><br>But Grant is a nice guy and soon Craig is all too invested in making sure he ends up with the right man by his side no matter how stormy the weather.

Stormy Weather

Grant might find the situation funny, except it wasn’t the first time someone had gone out with him to learn more about his infamous coworker. Grant never understood the mentality. Was he merely the closest they would ever get to the real thing? How was that good enough?


“Stormy weather’s nothing to take lightly. I’m uncomfortable with anyone putting themselves in that kind of danger.” Grant’s expression brightened. “I did spend a year up at the Mount Washington Weather Observatory.”


“I’m sure you were thrilled.” There was no mistaking Robert’s dismissive tone, and Grant’s airy hopes for the evening dropped another couple of degrees on his internal barometer.


“Don’t you find something elemental about extreme weather? The wind, the driving rain, the forces of nature unleashed? I saw Rick’s live broadcast after the storm drains backed up downtown. He was so brave.” Robert’s voice quavered with what Grant could only consider breathy awe.
