Defense
“After Dan finally left my building—I’d watched him saunter down the sidewalk until he reached his fancy sports car—I hopped back in the shower, my hair still damp from the one I’d taken the night before to try and wash off the nasty feeling I got from him.
That one hadn’t worked either. And the pizza that eventually showed up to my door did little in the way of comforting me. I ate a single slice before throwing the entire thing away, my appetite hopelessly shot.
The truth of the matter... was that my job—which I’d only recently started to get the hang of and enjoy—was going to become a lot more difficult.

It made me realize that, even though they were family, Roland was smart enough to keep Dan at arm’s length where Shepard Shipments was concerned.
I would be doing all of this, of course, without letting Roland know that there was anything out of the ordinary, or else everything would come crashing down.MoreLess
