Writing Challenge 4

The objective of this challenge was to write an anecdote (200-500 words), using the following sentence:
"He came unexpected."
You may change the gender: he can be she, or even they, and if you're having problems with the unexpected, you may turn it into unexpectedly.
You must however use this sentence somewhere in your anecdote. Beginning, end, middle... I don't care where. Just use it.

The poll is closed now, and our winner is Melissa with Entry 4
