The hammering started at dawn. Not a gentle tap-tap, but a furious, relentless assault on the quiet of the morning. Martha threw back the covers, her heart thudding a frantic rhythm against her ribs. She stomped to the window and glared at the offending property line. There was Harold, Mr. Sunshine and damn-fool-gardener, cheerfully wielding a sledgehammer. She clenched her fists until her knuckles were white.

"Harold!" she bellowed, the word raw and tight in her throat. He looked up, a placid smile on his face, and waved. The nerve!

Her jaw tightened. She stormed downstairs, grabbing her gardening shears with a viciousness that would make anyone think she was about to face a dragon. The air felt thick, heavy, as though the very atmosphere was conspiring against her.
