Trying to sound intelligent

I have nothing witty to put here...clearly i am not doing a good job of sounding intelligent.

I saw the Paramedic again last night. We went go-karting (and i kicked his ass). Then we went to the bookstore so i could "pick out a book for my trip to Cali" and then dinner.

Now...the reason to the quotations above is such. The Paramedic is having a birthday on Sept. 2nd. A mere month after we started dating. Suck. But he loves to read, so I figure if i could lure him into a book store I could perhaps find a book he may like for his birthday. Well, he seemed to enjoy a book about Notre Dame Football. However, he got really excited when he was looking for the newest Dean Koontz book in the Frankenstein series. Unfortunately, the third book is not out yet, and he's already read the second one. So then he expressed an interest in a short story he heard in high school about an angel written by Isaac Asimov.

This is where i need y'all's help. It is in a collection of short stories. The story involves an angel that crash lands into someones house. I googled Isaac Asimov, and the only thing i found close was an alien called Angel, an outcast for his/her planet, who meets up with a heamaphrodite.

Is anyone familiar with Isaac Asimov's work and any idea of what this story could be? I'm gonna try and prod him for more information to see if my thinking is correct.

If i can't figure it out, I suppose i'll just be getting the Notre Dame football book. Although honestly, i like to provide people with more thought provoking reading material.
