shaming of the true

Every now and again, the job didn't suck.  This was one of those times.  From his barstool, Elliott Longstreet had the angle on Toni Morrison. Fine-looking broad in the corner pocket.  She sat at the corner table across the Napoleon House courtyard, Pimms Cup dripping, brilliant green banana leaves swaying above her head in the dying light of dusk.  She was long, tan and alone.  And she was waiting for someone, someone who didn't understand she preferred regret to dread and both to shame.
