case and buy it, or get the heck out of this shop and leave me alone!” she finished, breathing hard, hands on hips, leaning aggressively over the counter.
Tim blinked at her, using his forefinger to push his heavy glasses up the bridge of his nose. “Okay,” he replied mildly, and turned around, shuffling out of the shop.
Marilyn rushed out to the front, clapping her hands together with pride. “You were brilliant, young lady! I’m proud of you,” she said, giving Kelcie a hug.
“Oh my goodness! I don’t usually speak to people that way, but I can’t tell you how much better I feel, now that I’ve let that all out,” she took a deep breath and let it out in a giant sigh of relief.
“That was perfect,” her boss nodded with approval. “Someone, besides Tiara and I, needed to put that strange little man in his place, and you did a fine job. I almost expected him to buy a pie from you before he left,” she giggled with wicked glee.
Tiara came bursting in the front door. “I just saw the creepy neighbor come out of here and walk faster than I’ve ever seen him move. He was looking over his shoulder like he was afraid that someone was following him. What happened? Is everyone okay?” she asked, concerned.
Marilyn and Kelcie looked at each other and cracked up.
“Yes, my darling daughter and superhero, everyone is just fine,” the boss lady grinned, as her baffled offspring rolled her eyes.
