He kneaded the pad of his thumb against his temple, desperate to alleviate the headache that had been throbbing all night – the one that reached its peak earlier in the evening when he’d slammed the door on Katie. Starting at the... age of ten, she apparently had a knack for giving him headaches, when she’d mocked him about his small size, his shabby clothes, and the Arkansas twang in his speech – anything to remind him he was little more than dirt beneath her feet.
