The Pretty Lady And The Cowboy (Songs From The Heart) - Plot & Excerpts
The eyes of early morning shoppers followed him as he strolled toward the wall of running shoe samples. He was obviously not your typical runner. He turned slightly as he saw me coming, put his hand to the brim of his cowboy hat, and tipped it as he drawled, “Hey, pretty lady!” I don’t think I had ever seen a man tip his hat to a woman except maybe in a PBS historical drama or one of those Gunsmoke reruns my dad used to watch. I felt a snippy comeback on the tip of my tongue but restrained myself. A favorite unmarried aunt taught me to believe in gender equality and I longed to put him in his place and let him know that I was MIZ Katharine Addison, independent woman and owner of the store, thank you very much, not some helpless “lady”. The practical side of me, however, wanted to make a sale. I looked him dead in the eye, did my best to ignore the scent of his incredibly sexy aftershave, and gave him a right-back-at-you tip of the Finish Line cap I was wearing.
