She went to the old shed and pulled out her rusty tools. She started digging a ditch, right along the proposed fence line. She wanted to make a point.

She saw him emerge from his house, looking confused. She ignored him and dug the ditch, deeper, wider. She'd make sure it would be a headache.

She knew she would do this every day until he changed his mind, until he caved. She didn't have to say a word.
