It had been a very difficult year and a half for Miranda. After her husband had died so suddenly it seemed to her as if the world had collapsed around her. Her support group had been there and they had meant well, but it seemed only time would allow her to heal. It had been almost 6 months after James passed that a lawyer had stopped by the house with a check for 10 million dollars. It seemed James had taken out extra life insurance without her knowing.<br/><br/>At 26 she was a widow and millionaire. Both things had been difficult to come to terms with. When her mother suggested she take a long vacation and go away she had been reluctant and dismissive, though after a while it all made sense to her. So here she was, day two of her two week vacation in paradise. She had waited long enough to sell the house she and her late husband had built then she hopped a plane. At first the idea of taking such a vacation alone had scared her but after careful consideration she decided to do it despite the fear. She was at a crossroad in her life; time to shake off the fear and dive into the unknown.<br/><br/>So here she was on one of the many loungers, the parasol overhead gave her just the right amount of shade, enough to allow her to push her large wide rimmed sunglasses to the top of her head. She was lying back stretched out, looking out at the crystal blue waters. She had Bluetooth ear buds in her ears and a book lay open on top of her beach bag. What looked like a margarita sat nestled in the snow next to her wide brimmed straw hat, because it’s never too early to start drinking in paradise someone had told her. This truly was paradise she realized. This of course was her first time out of the country, so it was all so new to her…<br/><br/><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">

When the shirt and shorts were removed even more glorious artwork was revealed. It was difficult not to stare. And her short hair cut was incredibly sexy… Then she caught herself… She was staring at a woman… But she was straight…<br/><br/>She looked away quickly as she reached for her drink…
