The doorbell rang, her mother chirping, "That must be your Aunt Carol!" Emily clenched her jaw, her nails digging into her palms. The thought of Aunt Carol, with her incessant questions and cloying compliments, was enough to make her stomach churn.

She excused herself to the backyard, the cool air doing little to quell the internal storm. The meticulously manicured lawn, her father’s pride and joy, looked sickeningly perfect. She wanted to stomp on it, ruin it.
