Laying back on the pillow with my eyes closed, my mind was entirely
focused on work.
For months, my current project had occupied most of my waking thoughts.
Everyone had said it couldn’t be done, that I could never convince a bunch of
proud, stubborn Texans with property in the centre of Houston to sell to me.
But against the odds, I had done just that by charming, cajoling and coaxing
each one until they signed on the dotted line. The price I paid was more than
fair for the rather faded and run-down buildings. What was going up in their
place would be infinitely better, and most of the property owners agreed with
that once they saw the size of the cheque I was willing to cut.

Now everything was in place and we were ready to break ground as soon as
next week, except for one small problem: one lone hold-out who refused to
sell or even to meet with me.
Dexter Callahan.
A grimace formed on my face as soon as he crossed my mind. Although we’d
never met in person, I disliked him more than I’d ever disliked anyone. The
emails I’d received from him were memorable enough to let me form a pretty
good mental image of him. From the way he quoted city regulations to me,
and the name Dexter for that matter, I had him pegged as a fastidious,
neurotic man, tall and skinny, who probably wore glasses and either had a
comb-over or wore a cowboy hat to cover up his bald spot. He had to be the
type of man who got a kick out of sending letters to local politicians
complaining about parking or people watering their lawns on the wrong day.
He told me – over email, of course, since he refused to speak to me – that the
little workshop and gallery which sat right in the middle of my proposed
development were part of his ‘family legacy’, whatever that meant, and he
wasn’t going to sell them no matter what price I offered.
In my reply, I tried to point out – very politely, I might add – that with the
money I was offering, he could easily set up a brand new shop somewhere
else, somewhere bigger and brighter and altogether more suited to whatever
trinkets he was selling. I didn’t phrase it quite like that, of course. I didn’t
actually have any idea what he sold in his gallery, and I didn’t care. All that
mattered was that it was in my way, but he was being completely
intransigent, refusing to even consider the possibility of making a deal.
