WLW: Ashley Monroe - Dear Diary -Entry III Dear Diary, Today’s customer had this quiet confidence that completely threw me off balance. She came in during the afternoon rush wearing a fitted white blazer, dark jeans, and those little silver rings on almost every finger. Dark curly hair. Olive skin. Soft brown eyes that somehow looked shy and confident at the same time. She told me she had a charity gala coming up and needed “heels dramatic enough to make an ex regret everything.” I told her I specialized in exactly that kind of shoe. That made her laugh. I brought out a pair of black suede stilettos with crystal straps that wrapped around the ankle like jewelry. She sat down in the fitting chair while I knelt in front of her and carefully guided the heel onto her foot. Honestly, I don’t know how I’m supposed to act normal when beautiful women keep looking at me like that. She kept watching me while I adjusted the straps, smiling every time I glanced up. Then she said, very casually, “You really know how to make a woman feel taken care of.” Dear God. I somehow managed to smile back instead of completely forgetting how words work. When she stood up in the heels, she walked toward the mirror slowly, turning just enough for the slit in her dress to move dramatically against her leg. The whole store may as well have disappeared for a second. She looked absolutely stunning. Before she left, she touched my arm lightly and said, “If these heels get me into trouble tonight, I’m blaming you.” I told her I was willing to accept responsibility. I think she blushed. Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking again.
