You knew passing eyes would be on you as stretched your leg out the door, you knew it and couldn't help but to enhance the image you portrayed, stretc...ing it out so that it would present a rising arch, a decadant image of sexuality and playfullness, imagining their eyes as your foot, wrapped in a patent four inch heel, clicked the pavement. The heel, in turn, held your foot high as the straps from the shoe wrapped around your ankle and criss crossed up the first few inches of your leg, itself.
