The request echoed in her mind, a constant, irritating buzz. The woman from next door, always so cheerful, always so… presumptuous. To think she could just… take a portion of her yard. The thought was infuriating.

She stood at the window, arms crossed tightly, watching the woman walk back to her house. The afternoon sun seemed to mock her, casting long shadows across the manicured lawn. She hated the smile she was trying to give her.

Her jaw clenched, and she turned away from the window, wanting to break free of this stifling situation. She wanted to scream. She wanted to disappear. She needed to do something, anything, to alleviate the mounting pressure.
