Prompt for March 4, 2015

Complete the short story / flash fiction, that has the following first paragraph:

I paused with the coffee cup halfway to my mouth as I stared at the tall auburn haired figure gliding – yes, gliding – up to the counter to order her coffee. She spoke to the barista and whatever it was she said made them both laugh, with the barista quickly moving over to prepare her drink.  I, on the other hand, just stared at her and marveled at how cool she looked on this hot summer day.  And that’s why I saw her shoulder explode into a fountain of red when the gunshot rang out.

Post a link to the story in the comments.
