Sarah and Mindy talked online everyday. Each morning when their husbands left for work, they each logged onto the chat room where they had met, and talked. They had never met, but were beginning to feel like best friends. After they downloaded ICQ, their talks became more and more frequent. They felt as if they knew one another well. They always asked how the other's children were, by name. They also knew each other's husband's names, job titles, and everything. Mindy wished her new best friend lived closer, the states that separated them made her seem so far away. Mindy wound up going to work part time as a secretary for a major corporation. Basically she only worked 4 hours a day, and was home to send her children to school, and was home when they arrived home.
As luck would have it, the corporation that Mindy worked for needed someone to drive and pick up some supplies and such. It was the town that Sarah lived in. Mindy volunteered to make the trip, not expecting to actually get to do it. Her boss called her to his office, and gave her a credit card, the keys to a company car, and told her that her hotel reservation was already made. Mindy had discussed this with her husband, and he took a couple of days off from work, so she could make the trip. Mindy quickly went online, and found Sarah. "Guess what?" Mindy said.
"What?" Sarah replied.
Mindy told Sarah about the trip, and both were so excited.
Mindy told Sarah what hotel she would be staying in, and all the information, and the 2 agreed they would meet the first morning that Mindy arrived. Mindy drove fast, thinking about finally getting to meet her friend. It made the trip seem so long. As she arrived, she quickly went to her hotel room, and called Sarah. "I will be there in about an hour" Sarah told her. Both women were so excited. They had seen pictures of one another, but were still dying to see each other. Mindy took a quick shower, and as she stood in her towel, blow-drying her hair, she heard a knock at the door. "Who is it?" she asked. "It's Sarah" she heard through the door.
