CHAPTER ONE

Agreeing to wear the shoes was a mistake

Although I worked as a cocktail waitress during rad and wore heels for years, once I startedassistant instead, I'd been dressing casual and was out of practice

My best friend Dawn ignoredfor Doctors Without Borders, his favorite charity I went to her apartment before the event so she could style me After she did my makeup, she selected a dress fro a little black wrap dress that only htly-too-ample chest more obvious I even wore real nylons with a seaarter belt instead of pantyhose because the only pair I had ripped as I pulled the the calf and all she had were nurse's white stockings

"Use these," she said, pulling them out of a drawer "They're Brenda's"

"I can't wear those," I said, etDaith the clothes she no longer wanted

"Why not? It's all women used to wear I think they're pretty"

"What if I had to go to the ER and the nurses and doctors saw them?"

She laughed "They'd think you were a sexy little thing Listen," she said, handing the the ER doctors and nurses are thinking of is your clothes except how to cut them off as quickly as possible"

I sighed and put them on They did look nice I felt a bit like Greta Garbo as I turned back and forth in theit with a flatiron so that it hung long and straight down my back But it was the shoes that did it

Super high and sexy

With four-inch stiletto heels and black leather straps, they were a tiny bit too big and I wobbled when I walked

"I don't know about these," I said inlike I alking a tightrope I looked atthe neckline "I haven't worn high heels since I quit waitressing at O'Hanlan's"
