Dear Author, Why is this guy sitting on the hood of his Jeep in the pouring rain? To my eye, he seems tired and a little sad, but you may feel differently. How did he get here and how does he get to his happily-ever-after? What will it take for him to come in out of the rain? Photo Description: A Jeep Rubicon sits parked under the trees in a muddy clearing in a cedar forest. A fine drizzle fills the air. On top of the hood, a good-looking, unshaven man in blue jeans and a work shirt lies back against the windshield, legs stretched out and crossed at the ankles. One hand rests on his thigh, and he tips his face to the sky with his eyes closed. He exudes weariness. This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Love is an Open Road" event.
