SUGARFOOT
The saloon was buzzing with activity when Colt stepped up to the bar.
“Colt! You’re back in town again. What can I get for you?” Shane asked.
“Just a whiskey.”
Colt heard the saloon doors swing open, saw the expression on Shane’s face, and people were scattering in all directions.
“Keep your hands on the bar,” a husky voice shouted!
Colt froze and tried to keep his hands steady.
“I knew I would catch up with, Sugarfoot,” the man bellowed.
Colet quickly brought his hands up from the bar and swung around!
“Maverick! I knew it was you when you called me Sugarfoot!”
“Hello brother! You’re a hard person to find these days.

Ha! May be an inside joke. Actually, I chose the name from an old western TV show I use to watch when I was in my teens or maybe a little later.

I liked this story. I can just imagine the two brothers. Why did Maverick make people scatter, while Colt didn’t though?

Thank you! I guess Maverick had more of unyielding type personality and Colt was the opposite and ended up being nicknamed Sugarfoot. (sweet guy)
