He could feel the tension radiating off him. This woman, with her endless chatter and her even more endless suggestions, was pushing him to the edge. Her request to utilize a portion of his back yard for a collective garden had him battling the urge to shout.

The muscles in his neck were rigid. He wanted to physically push her, this annoying woman, off his property. He didn't want to explain himself; he didn't want to negotiate. He wanted her gone.

“No, absolutely not,” he said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He quickly turned around and walked back toward his house, needing to escape the suffocating feeling.
