Holding out for a hero isn't all it's cracked up to be. How can a man live up to a romanticized ideal when he is grounded in everyday life and not the make-believe heroism of imagination? This story is about the moment when Kelsie realizes she will never find her hero if she doesn't open her eyes to see him as a real man in real life and not as some dreamy character or made-up legend. In a day full mishap, her rose-colored glasses were finally knocked askew, and as Kelsie has her epiphany, I couldn't help but smile.This short story is light and fun and just feel-good. If you have even the smallest bit of the romantic in you, you'll be happy with this story. Sometimes you do get what you wish for, even if it's unexpected and not quite what you thought it'd look like.
