I was traveling for work. Rather than going back to my hotel room alone I decided to follow the music and enter a local Irish pub. You know the sort, where you can smell the stale beer in the carpet and you’re glad its dark so that you can’t see your food because you wouldn’t eat it if you could. I grabbed a pint of beer and sat down towards the back of the room to watch the band. There was an attractive woman sitting closer to the stage and on her own. I waited a while to see if anyone was joining her and when I got my next beer I wandered over to where she was. After some chat, she told me that she was local but at 23 still lived with her parents. It was her week off of work and so she decided to stay in the city to catch up with friends and have some time to herself.
