Jamie Lowder said as he approached me. The anger was clear in his face, and I suddenly wished that Slick had stuck around just a little bit longer. It wasn’t that Slick was all that physically imposing, but I didn’t think Jamie would do anything if there was a witness standing right beside me. “Sorry, we’re not open for business yet,” I said, watching Slick retreat. “This isn’t business. It’s personal.” There was a bristling edge to his words that made me fight the urge to run inside and lock the door. I was more than a little scared, but I wasn’t going to let myself be bullied in front of my own place. “What is it, Jamie? I don’t have time for this. If you want a fight, you’ve picked on the wrong person today.” I snapped out my words with force, and that somehow got his attention. “Hey, take it easy. I’m not trying to upset you. I just want you to back off Sandi. She feels bad enough about what happened to Wade. You don’t need to make things any worse for her right now.”
