I, never being the overtly showman-like type, kept my heels on behind the counter, but shucked them when I worked the floor. (At least for the first week; then you couldn’t get me out of the damn things.) Sparkle couldn’t care less either way. Actually, I think he rather liked it. They made his calves look amazing, as many of the female and a few of the male customers expressed. Sharon even took to wearing her heels so that we could all be about the same height. And when there was a lull, she would start belting out some show tune, and the three of us would make up a routine. It was great practice, but even greater fun.
Allen was not having such a good time of it, however. The two of us saw each other periodically over those few weeks and we began to feel comfortable around each other fai
