“Some of the music was too bluesy or rappy for my taste, but several of the places had bands I would have hung around to hear. However, Christopher was leading us with a purpose, and the rest of us followed with blind obedience. I was checking out a guy wearing a cowboy hat and trying, very hard, to look the part, but his highly polished cowboy boots and too large buckle gave him away as a guy dressed up for show when Christopher suddenly stopped. I plowed into him with the force of a slid...e into second and he caught me in one strong arm, keeping me from falling into the street. Startled, I looked into his amused eyes, only inches away. He nodded toward the other guy, “All hat, no cattle,” Christopher said, then released me. I recognized it as a snarky comment slamming the guy as being a wanna-be cowboy who had probably never even touched a cow, but it wasn’t any of Christopher’s business whether I was looking or not. I knew a dozen snappy comments would come to me later, but at this moment, when I could have shown him how witty and cool I was, I had nothing. He was laughing at me for being so clumsy. Dammit, I wasn’t clumsy. I was...oh, never mind. It was too late for snappy. Anything I said now would just sound lame.MoreLessRead More Read Less
