“He keeps a hand on my elbow, and leads me to my car. Physically, he is not the sort of man to turn a woman’s head. Roundish of figure, heavy eyebrows, brown hair, straight and very short. His eyes are a sort of muddy brown. But Smitty Madison has presence, intellect, and a can-do attitude. Born, raised and educated in Chicago, he has honed his edgy intolerance of southern mannerisms and cultural courtesies to a vague, impatient stoicism, though I’ve heard him refer to dealings with local lawyer...s as a ‘pokey party’. Abrasive though he might be, he is protective and attentive to women, and during the single years between his first and second marriage he was hotly pursued. It rained while we were in the building; the pavement is dark in patches, and it’s cloudy out, and cool. Smitty looks at his watch like he wants to kill it and walks with fast, jerky steps. ‘Look, I’d like to talk about all of this, but I need to be in court at one, and I’m barely going to make it as it is.’ I grit my teeth.MoreLessRead More Read Less
