Contractual Obligation: The Contract - Plot & Excerpts
The row of yellow cabs that was usually there was down to two. Just as she pushed through the door, one more pulled away. Flagging the last cab, her arm up, she almost got there…almost, and then her heel broke. Bending to pull her shoe off and grab the spike of her heel, she glanced up just in time to see her cab pulling away with somebody else in it. “Come on!” Natalie reeled back and threw her shoe at the car, missing it by a few feet. “What the hell?” People rarely paid attention in New York; she was just another person having a moment on an overly crowded sidewalk. Walking lopsided, she went and retrieved her shoe, trying to find a way to wedge the heel back on. At least they weren’t expensive shoes – not like she could afford more than one pair of those. Pulling off the matching shoe, she tossed them in the trashcan. There was a discount shoe place around the corner. Thirty bucks and she’d be out the door in another crappy pair of shoes.
