Out of Order

Grace has sworn off good-looking men. As soon as she starts dating one of them, she transforms from a mature, confident woman to a needy teen-aged girl.  So when she meets Seth, the best-looking man she's ever seen, she makes the right choice — forget all about him. But a neurotic golden retriever and a broken elevator keep bringing them together. Is the world working against her… or maybe the gods are finally smiling?

Out of Order is a short story that originally appeared in the anthology, Love in an Elevator.
