replied.
    “Who’s Shanna?”
    Sean stopped in his tracks. “That’s Shanna.”

    I watched as a beautiful blonde broke away from the crowd of people hanging around near the bus. A security guard tried to grab her, but she slipped through, and ran right toward Sean.
    “Sean, baby!”
    “I got this.” Mike moved ahead of us and stopped the woman in her tracks. He was talking to her while we made a ten-foot arc around them, toward the bus.
    But just as Sean passed by, she whirled away from Mike and launched herself at him. “Sean!”
    Her arms were wrapped around his waist before I even knew what was happening. Sean tried to extract himself gently. But every time he moved an arm, she dodged it and reattached. I watched this for a handful of seconds, then, she put her hand right on his crotch. And I saw red.
    I was not in control of my body, not at all. I marched forward and grabbed her shoulders with both of my hands. I yanked her away from Sean and held her at arms length from me, my hands gripping her tightly. It took me another second to realize that Bell was standing right beside me.
    “Back off, bitch!” Bell yelled.
    “Hey, what the fuck?” Another three women tried to break away toward us, but the security guards held them back.
    “What the hell!”
    “Don’t touch what isn’t yours,” Bell said.
    “Hey, back off. Wifey’s not here and I want a piece. Oww, you’re hurting me!”
    My fingers were squeezing into her flesh.
    “Lisa,” I heard Sean say. I felt his big hand on my shoulder.
    “Sean and I have history. Who the fuck are you?” Shanna asked me.
    “I’m wifey’s big sister,” I said in a low, menacing voice.
    “Come on, Lisa,” Sean said, in a near whisper. “Let’s get on the bus.”
    One of the security guards that was holding the line near the bus, stepped forward. I loosened my grip, and Shanna slipped out of it and into the hands of the guard. She didn’t say anything further, she just stared at me, her mouth parted in an ‘O.’
    I let Sean pull me onto the bus. He sat me in the booth by the window and slid in beside me. Hank put Bell across from me and sat down next to her. Mike and Sam stood at the end of the table and stared. I heard the bus door close and the engine start.
    “Sit the fuck down,” Tony said.
    Sam and Mike both plopped down on the couch across from us.
    “Bad. Ass.” Sam said.
    “Really, really badass,” Mike said.
    I hung my head in my hands. Holy shit! What had I just done? I could feel Sean rubbing little circles on my back.
    “You and me, Lisa. We are a force to be reckoned with,” Bell said.
    “Yeah, but, damn,” Hank said. “I knew you had in you, little Bell, but I didn’t know Lisa was such a…”
    “Badass, Hank, the word you are looking for is badass,” Sam said.
    “Definitely,” Hank said.
    “Lisa, are you okay?” Sean asked.
    I wasn’t okay. I was trying to figure out exactly what had turned me from non-violent, mild-mannered professor into a raging lunatic. I had felt that level of anger a few times in my life. Once, when the kid down the street cornered Brad in an alley and beat him up, and the day I’d found out what Dani’s ex-boyfriend, Brynn, had done to her. But what was this about? Was it about Dani? Or was it about me?
    “Who was that, anyway?” Bell asked.
    “Shanna is a chick that Sean hooked up with once years ago, and he found out the next day that she was a complete nutcase. She stalks him whenever we’re in town,” Hank explained.
    “Lisa,” Sean said quietly.
    “I have never done anything like that in my life,” I said between my fingers.
    “Hey, people get crazy when they’re defending themselves,” Sam said.
    And there it was. He’d put a voice to it. Had I been defending what I wanted?
    “No, it’s more than that,” Sean said. “Lisa and I get it.”
    I looked up at him.
    “I might get pissed if someone hurt me,” Sean said to Sam. “But I’d be ten times more pissed if they
