The Cowboy's Return
“Bert Boggs came out of the bank two doors down. “Had a good week, Camila?” he asked, a touch of sarcasm in his voice.
“Yes. Thank you,” she replied as politely as she could. She disliked Bert intensely and his son, Vance, even more.
“Just make sure that all you’re selling in there are homemade soaps and quilts.”
Anger jolted through her. “Excuse me?”
“I know all about you, Camila. I’m not easily fooled like the other people in this town. I’m keeping an eye on you.”
She swung her purse strap ove...r her shoulder. “And I’m keeping an eye on you, Bert. If you get slack as mayor, I’ll be running for your position next election.”
“Why you—”
“Have a good evening.” She walked to her car before Bert could say anything else. She’d parked out front earlier because it was her post-office day. If she’d just parked in back, this confrontation could have been avoided. But she wasn’t hiding, even though she hated the way people like Bert made her feel—like a tramp.MoreLess
