The night the guy is going to pop the question to the woman of his dreams, she announces to him over a romantic dinner that "it's only fair that I tell you that I'm bisexual and in a relationship." Oh, well - ya win a few and you lose a few. Either that or adapt. Actually, Sandra is already in a menage a trois, and Dan has to learn to accept the whole package or take a menage a un in a cold shower. The hard part for Dan (as well as for many male readers) is that when a menage a trois becomes a menage a quatre, each person can team up for one-on-ones with three other partners, and only two of these pairings are heterosexual. {Of course, not all pairings are one-on-one.} This throws Dan for a loop; but after he confers with his local bartender, he decides to grin and bare it. And so Dan learns not only to accept but even to enjoy MM as well as MF sex. And they all live happily ever after. Aside from some minor punctuation problems, the main stylistic problem with this story is the misuse of homonyms - the use of wrong words that sound like the desired words, as "fair" for "fare" and "principals" for "principles."
