I often have a passage that sounds like this. I don't know why, but I always found these passages a bit odd sounding. > A stranger was lying, face into the sands, belly down, on the beach all alone. **As it turned out the stranger was Roberto, one of Isabella's many friends.** Hearing someone approaching him, Roberto pulled himself up onto his hips and turned his gaze towards Isabella. She was unusually beautiful that day, wearing a short yellow skirt and a cropped white top. Is there a way to avoid naming them like this in this very stereotypical way and just name the person even if the person was never introduced?
