A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow
- Edgar Allan Poe
***
Flirting's what I do, sugar. My stock in trade. Means nothin', but it pulls in customers. Handsome Hutch's different, a dream I like to take out and shine up sometimes. I turn it on just for the pleasure of watching him be the gentleman. That, and to watch his partner bite his tongue. Starsky knows better than to interrupt Hutch playing the gallant. I do like Starsky, though. He really sees me, not like pretending with Hutch. I know that the two of them aren't for me – I've got eyes. But, it's nice to get attention without a transaction.
