Al’s Blind Date: The Al Series, Book Six - Plot & Excerpts
She was leaning against the wall, staring down at her feet. She stuck one of her legs out, with the foot pointing like an arrow straight at me. “Whaddaya think?” she said. “I’m not sure they’re me.” She made a face. “The real me, that is.” “They aren’t anyone,” I said, glad she’d asked. Those shoes were plenty grotty, all right. They reminded me of witch shoes, long and flat, with nerdy little heels. “Gunboats,” Al said glumly. “Big black gunboats. Why does she buy me shoes anyway? They’re my feet, aren’t they? I’m entitled to pick out my own shoes. If I bought shoes for her, she’d have a cow. And my toe’s right up to the end already. I can be crippled for life if I wear these babies.” Al’s mother buys her stuff at the store where she’s in Better Dresses on account of she gets a twenty percent employee discount. Some of the things she buys Al loves, like her lavender sweater. Others she hates. Al buzzed for the elevator, still staring at her feet.
