First Outing

Walking down the street to the gas station for a Coke sounded like a simple first outing while dressed as a girl. It probably would have been if I hadn't lost my temper with the soda machine.
"Can I help you?" asked the station attendant as he approached.
"M-my change," I stammered as my heart thudded behind my ribs.
He nodded understanding, then reached into his pocket, opened my hand, and placed a quarter in my palm. "Sorry about that, mam," he said with a warm, friendly smile.
My hand was still tingling as he turned to help another customer.
