---- Frank, recognizing the fury in Thomas's eyes, knew right away he was the reason for my troubles. In a flash of rage, Frank's fist connected with Thomas's face. "Get out of here! You've got no right to be near her," shouted Frank. Thomas just wiped the blood from his lip and smirked that creepy smirk of his. I knew that looked all too well. He was not about to let Frank off the hook. I latched onto his hand, trying to calm him with my words. "Thomas, he's just a customer, don't get mad. I..." "Don't be scared of him, Rebecca! I've got your back." However, my attempts to soothe Thomas were in vain. Frank's words had set him off like a rocket. ---- "What do you think you are?! "Rebecca's my wife, you little punk! How dare you challenge me?" I wrapped my arms around Thomas, trying to steady his rage. "Frank, get out of here now! Just listen to me." Frank, seeing the resolve in my eyes, reluctantly backed off and left.
