Summary
Perhaps Bobby should be concerned about his language. Families nearby, kids. But arms infused by rage and bearing down on this asshole, he doesn’t give a damn. Fight and fright lurk in the hick’s gaze and Bobby’s bat wiggles a warning. “You don’t know what I’m capable of! Come on! Please!” Voice crackling through fires of frenzy, he takes another step and the hick stumbles backwards. Again, Bobby shouts, “You don’t know what I’m capable of!”
But Paulette does. Peeking out the door, she ignores James’ babbling, his twitching, and tracks Bobby. Most write off her husband as a loser. The manager of a tired theme park where people bring their rugrats to ride the rollercoaster and lose half a week’s pay at the rigged games. And sure, Bobby tucks in his t-shirts. Wears white socks pulled halfway to his knees. Walks around with a whistle dangling from his neck, shrilling through the park whenever some ne'er-do-well misses the clown mouth garbage cans. But more than a little awkward herself, none of these things put off Paulette. Quite the contrary, because she’s familiar with the beast crouching behind Bobby’s dorky exterior.
