PEARL’S EASY SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN
Setting the Scene:
In A COWBOY’S WILL, Cody is a cowboy with a big appetite—for a lot of
things. Blair is a city girl who has stepped into his world uninvited. How can two people
with so little in common, and so much to fight each other about, find themselves falling
in love.
Excerpt from A Cowboy’s Will:
Cody couldn’t believe Blair had cooked supper. He picked up a golden-brown
chicken leg and took a bite. It actually tasted good! After about the third bite he paused in
mid-chew. There was something awful familiar about the flavor. He took another bite
before it came to him. Pearl’s! It was Pearl’s fried chicken from her restaurant. He
looked up from his plate. Blair was munching away. “You sure did surprise me,” he said.
“
I never guessed you’d be a good cook. I’m down right floored that you, from the north
no less, know how to make good fried chicken.”
She smiled, but had the good grace to look uncomfortable. “I’m glad you like it.”
Cody started to burst her bubble, let on that he knew she didn’t cook this stuff.
Then changed his mind. He didn’t know what kept him from doing it. He took another
bite of the delicious chicken. It made him think of Grady. “Too bad Grady isn’t here. He
loved fried chicken. And he loved you and your mother.” Cody hadn’t meant to say that
last part, it just popped out.
Blair pushed the salad around on her plate with her fork, then nodded.
He swallowed a bite of potatoes and gravy. He realized he wanted to understand.
Would it have been so hard for you to come see him from time to time? For your mother
“
to come?”
