A Lawman in Her Stocking (2002)
““What’s that, Mildred?”
She pointed to the streak of paint that looked like a big, fat comma on the wooden plaque he was painting. “I said, you do the brush strokes so well that you should think about helping the Beautification Society with our Main Street Project.”
His left eyebrow twitched at the mention of the B.S. Club’s project. “I don’t think that would be a good idea, Mildred,” he said, careful to keep his voice low. “The guys over at Luke’s—”
“Oh, how silly of me,” Mildred interrupted w...ith a laugh. She placed her wrinkled hand on his arm, her expression sympathetic. “Of course, you wouldn’t be able to help. The Beautification Society is a women’s organization. I forgot about you being a man.”
Nodding, Dylan managed a smile that probably looked more like a grimace before turning his attention back to his painting. How much more was his ego supposed to endure for the sake of the town anyway? Not only had the guys over at Luke’s given him a hard time about taking a damned painting class with old Corny and her hens, he’d just been neutered by a sweet little sixty-year-old lady he’d known all of his life.MoreLess
