description: We dont get a lot of NBA superstars coming through little ol Pine Hill Texas. Thats why everyone is all in a tizzy over the fact that the USA mens Olympic basketball team will be training here of all places before this years Summer Games. With little else to talk about rumors about the players have been spreading like wildfire and theres one man in the middle of it all holding a match.Ben Castillo.NBA champion.Olympic gold medalist.Widely hailed King of the Court.The morning he walks into my dingy diner I have enough sense to keep my head down and go right on wiping tables pouring coffee and serving up short stacks. A man who looks like thatsuperstar or nothas only ever meant trouble and more trouble is the last thing I need what with taking care of Nan and scraping by on tips from truckers.If anything he seems drawn to my indifference. His steely gaze pierces me behind the counter. My knees nearly buckle under the weight of his attention. But while Mr. Pretty Boy is probably used to snagging city girls with a smile this gal is country strong.I wont be some clichd convenience for him on his way through town.So look over your choices carefully Benny-boy. We serve up sides of hash browns here not heartbreak.
