In those moments, he would ball up his fists in silent fury - and walk away. That is when I began to wonder when he would hit me.

But when Andy turned to face her, there was no fire in his eyes; no caustic edge to his voice. Instead, the seasoned newspaper editor simply acknowledged that she had gotten scooped.
