In Plain Sight

Sharon began her life adventure after college as a twenty-something with an average romantic history of three real relationships, one that disintegrated dramatically, since then she been involved in several one-offs. A typical social life, two cats, a one-bedroom apartment in Covington, KY and no car since she lived right on the bus line. But over time her life evolved, due in large part to her promotion to Account Executive with a large advertising firm in Cincinnati, she acquired some close friends and that improved her social life.
Her closest friend was Melanie, who she was the sister she never had and did everything with her, cried on her shoulder, listened to her failed romances. But Saturday nights had now become a big part of Sharon and Melanie's world. While seated at the bar in a favorite spot in town, Mel on potty break, Sharon pondered how people just enter your world and - whoosh! - things will never be the same again.
That is when she saw the dark-haired beauty walk in. She walked into the bar with a real grace, and Sharon was transfixed. She noticed other girls were with her, but I wasn't looking at them. Thinking she had discovered the meaning of life; Sharon shared her discovery with Mel. Typical of Mel; she never seemed to think anyone Sharon liked was good enough for her. Sharon didn't agree, thinking the brunette was quite something.
And that is how the adventure began.
