She approaches this stranger to get her to buy a drink since she is once again out of money. The woman at the bar agrees to pay for her drinks under one condition. That she orders the exact same drink as she has in front of her. Uncomfortable that the woman could be hitting on her, she changes her mind, returning to her tried and true tricks for getting men to buy her drinks, but this time with no success. She decides to comply with the womans condition and her world is forever changed.Wendy Bryan Michaels (Playwright) is a Los Angeles-based playwright from Miami Beach, Florida.
