Mariah Peyton had spent years in college and med school. More years in the military on a medical ship in the Gulf. She didn't know what she was looking for, but a bright and shiny blonde elf in Christmas red crying in the back seat of a car at the gas pump, wasn't it.
She always found it amazing. Lower the zipper on the leather jacket, lean in a bit, show some cleavage and the fool immediately forgot about the woman crying in his backseat. She was very grateful for her concealed weapons permit.
