Six more from Wildly Inappropriate.
Honey
chile, ever' woman's gonna pick her own pain.
That was her gram's
favorite saying about men. Cynda had yet to find a man she felt was worth
suffering for. She tried to see her beloved grandmother's face, to keep from
unhooking the damn leash and starting the long walk back to the highway. She
couldn't afford to dwell on the insult of being chained in some white man's
yard, but fury burned within her that a black man would suggest this… this… outrage.
It didn't take a genius to figure out this landowner must be some redneck who
didn't want black neighbors.
