Caleb and Graham meet when they're trapped together in an elevator in a Vegas hotel. Caleb, an NHL goalie, is amused that Graham doesn't recognize him but he recognizes Graham from his online cooking show. Caleb is closeted because of his career but being trapped in a small, dark space with his online crush seems like a good a time as any to indulge in the things he never allows himself. But what'll happen when they're finally rescued?

I loved this short story! It was only 6 chapters but it was packed with loads of romance goodness - a fun meet cute, heartfelt confessions, and steamy encounters. Caleb and Graham were unsure of each other at first but they really hit it off after a few shared confessions in the dark.

It was a bit of an open ending but I hope that the authors end up revisiting these guys to expand on their story! I'd love to see Caleb finally pursue the life he wants. But even if this is all we get, this is still a really great short story!
