An hour later, when I was sitting out behind the store, taking my break, Alex came out and said, “You better leave her alone.”

“What?” I said.

“I saw what you did. You made her cry. You better leave her alone.”

“I was just talking to her, Alex,” I said. “She was crying because of the kid who died. Sal. You knew Sal, right?”

“Leave her alone,” he said again. He was shifting back and forth on his feet, rocking like a boxer who was getting ready to throw a punch. Why was he so mad? I thought about the way he’d acted in the store when Staci had said hi to him.

Oh.

“You like her, is that it?” I said. “You like Staci?”

Boy, did he ever look surprised, which told me I was right.

“Well, you can relax, Alex,” I said. “I’m not interested in Staci that way. I have a girlfriend. We were just talking, that’s all.”

He thought about that for a moment. “You have a girlfriend?” he said.

“Yeah. Her name is Rebecca.”

He thought about that, too. Then he went back into the store.
