Lonely accountant Bill Fairburn has given up on love. At this point he’d settle for any kind of social life, but despite what the blogs and magazines say, it’s not that easy to meet new people. He joined a gym six months ago because that’s what all the advice articles told him to do, and so far? Crickets. He’s working up to it, okay?

And then matters are taken out of his hands, thanks to an unconventional meet-cute that isn’t going to make it onto any top ten romantic moments lists any time soon.

Suddenly Bill has the attention of hot young personal trainer Steve, who seems…interested?

No.

That can’t be right.

…can it?

Worth the Wait is an age-gap, opposites-attract romantic comedy short with a meet-cute you’ll never forget (you’ll try, though) in which the proper form in weight training is taken very seriously, accidents do happen but don’t worry, no one needs surgery in the end, and a hot young jock and a middle-aged nerd have quite the surprising chemistry.
