It seemed like an hour had passed since this chance encounter began and Stacy was getting sleepier by the minute. She could see why Iris's girlfriend broke up with her, she would not shut her mouth. But it appeared the talking was therapeutic because the tears Iris was shedding earlier had stopped. The talking didn't though she just keep going and going, the energizer bunny would be so proud. Okay maybe that was a harsh Stacy thought but she was sleepy and almost certain it was 3 am or close to it. Iris keep talking about how great this other woman was, Stacy learned her name was Daphne and she was 35 and she was the sweetest kindest person in the entire world according to Iris. Right now Iris was still going "I knew Daphne was special from the first moment we met. Her passion for life and our love was so strong." Stacy could not take it anymore if this woman was so great why the hell weren't they still together? So Stacy cut Iris off "You've said how you think the sun rise and set's off this woman but you haven't said why you two broke up?" Stacy was looking at Iris now and a gloomy expression came over her and she bowed her head into her chest and said very low "She claimed the love had fizzled and the relationship had become boring and the passion was gone. But those weren't the only reasons" a pause followed and Iris didn't seem like she could bring herself to say any more. She looked up and out to sea and said " I learned today that she is 3 and a half months pregnant and I'm sure you can guess I'm not the father." Stacy wanted to chuckle but she didn't think that was a good idea so instead she said "Oh, she cheated on you and got pregnant, then wanted to start the "family thing?" Iris's head turned back to Stacy and her bright green eyes locked onto Stacy's and she just shook her head. Stacy didn't know what else to say so she just looked at Iris, chatterbox aside Iris was a stunning woman. She had shoulder length long brown hair a caramel complexion and the prettiest green eyes Stacy had ever seen. She was about 5'8 but she looked like she was all legs, they were so long. Stacy had the feeling she had seen Iris somewhere before but couldn't remember exactly where. Those green eyes are hard to forget but Stacy thought they might have seen each other in passing. They were both still staring at each other and Stacy realized it and broke the gaze.

The quiet was broken by the piano notes of Ribbon In the Sky and Stacy thought she might have been hearing things but when she turned back to look, it was Iris's cellphone. Looking down at the phone Iris was looked angry and hurt at the same time. Stacy assumed it was Daphne calling and wasn't sure if she wanted to be in the area for this conversation.
" Do you mind talking to her" Iris said quickly. Looking shocked and confused "Why would you want me to talk to her, can't you just ignore it? Stacy said back just as quickly. Iris rushed over next to Stacy and handed her the phone "Please," she pleaded "You know what's it like after a break-up you want to talk but you don't really want to hear their voice, please?" Stacy did know that feeling, you want to hear what the other person is saying but to hear their voice would send you over the edge. Stacy took the phone and pressed the green button and put it up to her ears. "Hello" she said timidly. The voice on the other line asked if this was Iris but Stacy wasn't listening, the voice on the other line made her realize where she had seen Iris before.

Until next week.........
