A complete stranger.

I watched the door open, before someone entered, and then closed it behind them.

I looked over the person that now shared the room with me. They were certainly female, and certainly attractive. They had long legs and long, blonde hair. They also had curves in all the right places, wrapped tightly in a red dress. I thought to myself this would've been what Pamela Anderson looked like if she'd done "Baywatch" earlier in her lifetime.

Chuckling to myself at that idea, I quickly realized I had no idea who this person was, or what (if anything) I should say to them. Just then, I heard a voice call my name.

"David?"

When I looked, I saw it came from Sharon's mouth, speaking through a cracked opening of the bathroom door. She got my attention, and called me over with her index finger.

"You know Sarah's an only child," she said.

I nodded.

"What you may NOT know is the reason for that. A few years after she was born, her father and I got a divorce. It was soon after that I discovered I preferred to be in a relationship with another woman. With Sarah deciding on a college, I came to New York to meet with my girlfriend," she added in a rush.

My jaw dropped, and I found myself speechless.

"Approach her, David, and tell her our plans. I'm sure she'll ask to be part of them. How you respond to that offer is up to you!" she told me.
