CHAPTER 2

As Amelia stood in the doorway, Suzie did her best not to let the woman’s abrasive attitude disturb her. She’d come to realize that Amelia was simply a blunt person, and she was always going to say what was on her mind, with no thought to being polite.

“I’m sorry for the intrusion, but we just had quite a strange visit from a man who insisted we pass a message on to you.” Suzie held out the folded piece of paper. “He was irate, and I was close to calling the police because he refused to calm down.”

“Monroe.” Amelia rolled her eyes. “It must have been Monroe.” She snatched the piece of paper out of Suzie’s hand. “I’m sorry that he caused such a fuss. I didn’t hear a bit of it, or I would have come down and told him off myself.” She scanned the note, then crumpled it up in her fist. “This is ridiculous. People think they can sue for anything these days.”

“I know that you like your privacy, Amelia, but if there’s anything we can do to help, all you have to do is ask.” Mary looked into her eyes. “We both know what it’s like to be in tough circumstances.”

“That’s kind of you, but I don’t need any help.” Amelia smirked. “This just means that I’m on the right track with my book. Let him have his tantrum, it’s not going to get him anywhere.”

“We are both a little concerned about how violent he seemed. If you’d like, I could call my cousin Jason. He’s a police officer. I can see if he can start some paperwork so that you can get a restraining order. It might be the best way to protect yourself.” Suzie reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone. “I’m sure he’ll come over as soon as he’s free.”

“I don’t need protection.” Amelia rested against the doorframe. “He doesn’t scare me.”

“Maybe not, but we do have other guests to think about.” Mary frowned. “He was quite loud and insistent, I’m afraid that if he came here again, I would instantly call the police.”

“He was that mad, huh?” Amelia smiled some, as if it pleased her to know that she’d gotten under his skin. “Try not to worry about it, ladies, he’s all bark and no bite. But if you’re really concerned, I guess it would be good to get a paper trail started for my countersuit. Go ahead and call him. Just let me know when he gets here, as I’m in the middle of a chapter.”

“Okay, we will.” Suzie was relieved that she agreed to speak to Jason. As she placed the call, Amelia closed the door and disappeared back into her world. She wasn’t the most social person, but Suzie could understand that. She often preferred her own company over the company of others, aside from Mary and a few others. However, Amelia’s abrupt nature made it difficult not to think she simply had a strong distaste for people.
