Late Night Visitors

I'm 30 lived alone on the outskirts of town, more career focused then interested in relationship. I'd a strong relationship in college, but she had suddenly left no note or a phone call. So, I focused on finishing my studies then my career after college. Financially well off even without my career, I chose to work from home, so I get very few interruptions. Especially if you turn off your phone, so I was surprised by seeing lights of a car coming down my driveway late one rainy night. The car pulled up in front of my home and two figures got out and came to my door. I opened the door with chain still attached and saw a woman and a young girl. It was my old college sweetheart and her daughter; she had gotten pregnant to me and her family pulled her out of college and stopped all contact with anyone outside the family. The girl was my daughter then 7, my old girlfriend's father had died a year earlier, and she had started looking for me. They were comfortable financially and wouldn't have contacted me if I'd been married. But her research said I was still single and as we lived only a hundred or so miles apart, they decided just to visit me instead of phoning ahead first. Held up by water and detours so arrived late, no motels in the town I live nearby. So, they chanced coming straight to my home. After the shocked of seeing her again and being told I was a father. We talked and our daughter was very tired, so we put her to bed in a spare room. We talked some more before spending the night together. It was very clear the spark was still present between us, and they stayed several more days. They returned their home to pack and sell up and returned a week later and we married the following day. My daughter as her mother's flower girl, now two years later we've son and are very happy with our lives since we reconnected.
