When he got to the town where the college was located, he drove to the house that Melanie shared with her roommate, Bev, and he knocked on the door to...see if he could interest Melanie in dinner before he went to his motel for the night. He'd already checked into the motel and had his key and he was hungry but he'd wanted her to join him if she was available.As Ron stood knocking on the door, no one answered at first and then the door swung open and there stood another girl -- not his daughter.. ”“Mizz Barton, I’m just Dan.
