“There better be a fucking tornado today. The season is half done and we’ve got nothing,” Jacob Black snarled as he filled up the Titan, the massive vehicle they used to chase tornados. “Cullen, you’ve really mucked things up. We’ve been hundreds of miles away from the storms and missed every single tornado so far. You’re supposed to be this fucking genius and yet, you’re not.”
“I’m really feeling motivated to find you a tornado, Jacob,” Dr. Edward Cullen sneered under his breath.
His production assistant, Seth, gave him a sympathetic grin from behind the camera. They were doing a documentary about storm chasers and Edward was a last-minute replacement for the leggy blonde meteorologist they’d hired. The original hire, Tanya, got a call from some local news station and she decided that her fake double D’s would be better suited to broadcast weather in Duluth, Minnesota than travel across Tornado Alley during storm season with six men.
His reasoning for taking the position with Jacob’s team was Edward’s funding at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign had run out and he was desperately looking for a job. he
His research was trying to figure out a way to accurately predict the path of tornadoes and create a more effective warning system. He’d tested so many hypotheses, but couldn’t make an accurate breakthrough. So, when his contract was up at the university, he was let go and he had no job.
No job.
No wife. She’d divorced him when she realized that an adjunct professor’s salary was a joke. Not like she was all that wonderful either.
No home …
He was living with his parents so he could have free child care, which was needed since he’d taken this job traveling for the better part of four months.
Yep, Dr. Edward Cullen was a real winner.
Really want to read this x
ReplyDeletePoor Edward. Sounds like hes hit a rough patch. Free child care? Does the child live with him, or does he share custody?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the posting.
Happy Easter.
