DISCOVERING MR GRANT
Author's Note: I'm sure I wasn't the only one on the floor with the promo for S12E5. Nathan in a tux? I mean, what's not to love? This got me thinking... we're discovering a few new things about our favorite leading man. We knew he had to be a romantic, but we finally saw it on screen with the infamous grownup riding date. He's shown us he has some moves up his sleeve with the impromptu dance session at the schoolhouse. And now we will see an irresistibly handsome side to him with Rosemary's makeover for the upcoming undercover mission.
Thus, "Discovering Mr. Grant" was born. Originally published on my Instagram account, it is the first of a four-part series of drabbles/minifanfics. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing them!
Nathan Grant was full of secrets. If someone had told her this a few years ago, Elizabeth would have laughed heartily and shrugged it off.
Goodness gracious, Constable Grant. You can kiss a girl senseless. You can dip her expertly on the dance floor. And you look positively devastating in a tuxedo.
Of course, she knew Nathan was a remarkable man. She knew it when he held Little Jack in his arms the day of his christening. His gift of the Emerson plaque proudly displayed at the library further confirmed it. But his steadfastness sealed the deal. Nathan Grant loved like no other man on earth.
Elizabeth was blown away to discover just how romantic he could be. It took a special kind of man to make a simple afternoon ride the date of a lifetime. Their time together had been so transcendent that they spent a sleepless evening reliving the experience. She loved that his walk led to her door and that he'd knocked after seeing her light on.
Of course, it hadn't been too late for apple juice.
Elizabeth couldn't help the little shiver that sizzled down her spine. Her smile was that of unadulterated female satisfaction. What a kiss that had been! She would never look at her front door the same way again!
And then...there was the matter of the dancing. Good heavens, Nathan Grant! Elizabeth was convinced he didn't learn to dance in a barn, of all places! She was determined to find out just how he'd learned to dip a girl like that.
But what took the cake was this undercover mission. What on earth was he up to that he had to go to work looking... like THAT.
I mean... how? How?! How could they have been friends all this time and not know he looked like THAT in a tuxedo?
Oh yes. Discovering Nathan Grant and all his layers would be an enjoyable quest.
