Before I could say anything, the woman turned.
Linda Brennan.
Pinewood Estates HOA president for four years.
She saw me and smiled.
Not surprised.
Not embarrassed.
Smug.
She walked across my deck as though she owned it.
"Sir," she said loudly, raising one hand. "I'm going to need you to step back. This is a private community event."
I stared at her.
"This is my house."
Linda laughed.
Actually laughed.
